Group stageβ»
16 winners from the third qualifying round, 10 champions from countries ranked 1β10, and 6 second-placed teams from countries ranked 1β6 were drawn into 8 groups of 4 teams each. Normally two teams from the same association cannot be, drawn in the same group. The only exception is Liverpool. Because of their abnormal qualification as title holders because not having finished in the top four of the English league, Liverpool were not given "association protection" in the tournament (for group stage, the only team from the same association they could be drawn with was Chelsea, as the rest were in the same seeding pot). The top 2 teams in each group advanced to the Champions League knock-out stage, while the third-placed teams advanced to the Round of 32 in the UEFA Cup.
Tiebreakers are applied in the following order:
- Points earned in head-to-head matches between the tied teams.
- Total goals scored in head-to-head matches between the tied teams.
- Away goals scored in head-to-head matches between the tied teams.
- Cumulative goal difference in all group matches.
- Total goals scored in all group matches.
- Higher UEFA coefficient going into the competition.
Real Betis, Villarreal, Udinese, Thun, and Artmedia made their debut appearance in the group stage.
