*Played in qualifying round

The following regulations also apply:

Clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. No Man City v Chelsea draw.

The winners and runners-up of the same group cannot be drawn against each
other. It means Minsk cannot be drawn against Zurich.

The seeded clubs play the return leg at home.

The 16 winners of the round of 32 contest the round of 16, for which the pairings
are determined by means of a draw. Clubs from the same association cannot be
drawn against each other. No Man City City v Chelsea in the second round

Man City will be favourite against all unseeded teams as they reached last year’s tournament semi-final.

Chelsea will be hoping to avoid Lyon and especially Wolfsburg. They’re unseeded because their record over five years isn’t very good.
