How the draws for the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final are conducted
- The draws feature the eight winners from the UEFA Champions League round of 16 who arrive into this competition’s knockout phase as special entrants.
- There are three separate draws: one for the quarter-finals, one for the semi-finals where the quarter-final winners’ paths are combined, and a third that designates the home team for administrative purposes in the final.
- No seeding or country protection exists, so clubs may face opponents from the same national federation. Any additional restrictions are announced ahead of the ceremony for clarity and fairness.
