Those leagues include the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga.

The 32 teams that have progresses are then divided into eight groups of four teams. The teams are play both home and away matches against each other. with the top two in each group advancing to the knockout stages where they again play both home and away matches. The winner of the UEFA Champions League will go ahead and proceed to the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
