The recent Champions League knockout round draw has outlined the potential routes for Liverpool, Arsenal, and Aston Villa, who all advanced from the League Phase. These teams know their opponents through to the final in Munich, largely dictated by a new seeding system. This prevents top teams from facing each other until the ultimate match, simplifying the playoff structure for lower-seeded teams. The approach resembles a format similar to the Championship playoffs, enhancing strategic planning for the qualified sides in their quest for continental glory.
Each team who finished 1st-8th could play one of two teams, and will not be able to meet their pair until the final.
The draw has also plotted the teams entire route to the Champions League final, meaning each team knows all their potential opponents right up to the final.
