mode

According to the UEFA five-year ranking , two teams each from England, Italy and Spain were seeded for the group stage; two more started in the third qualifying round. Defending champion FC Liverpool also started as the fifth English team in the first qualifying round (see: "Lex Liverpool"). Two teams from Germany, France and Portugal (places 4-6 in the UEFA five-year ranking) were also seeded for the group stage, but only one team each started in the third qualifying round. A team from Greece, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands (places 7–9) was selected for the group stage and one each started in the third qualifying round. The champions from Turkey (10th place) moved up from the 3rd qualifying round to the group stage, as the defending champions FC Liverpool, who were actually seeded for them, started in the 1st qualifying round. The second Turkish team started as planned in the second qualifying round. Belgium, Norway, Scotland, Switzerland and the Ukraine (places 11-15) each sent one team to the 2nd and one team each to the 3rd qualifying round.

There were no changes to the game mode compared to the previous season. In the group stage, as before, if two teams were tied, the following applies:

  1. Points from direct games.
  2. Goals scored in direct matches.
  3. Away goals in direct games
  4. Goal difference from all group matches.
  5. Scored goals in all group matches.
  6. Higher club coefficient at the beginning of the competition.

"Lex Liverpool FC"

Since defending champion Liverpool FC was fifth in the English Premier League and did not qualify for the Champions League, and the English FA refused to withdraw the CL start right from fourth Everton in favor of Liverpool, UEFA decreed an exception with Liverpool FC was also allowed to compete in qualifying round 1 to get the opportunity to defend the title. Thus, for the first time in the history of the Champions League, a nation provided a total of five participants. It was not until the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League that there were again five participants from a nation, after the winners of the UEFA Europa League, Sevilla FC, were allowed to take part in the competition for the first time alongside the four teams qualified via the Primera División .

The same situation had already happened in Spain six years earlier: Real Madrid won the Champions League, only came fifth in the Spanish league, and should therefore only have played in the UEFA Cup. The Spanish association RFEF , however, withdrew the CL start right from fourth in the table, Real Saragossa, clearing the way for Real Madrid to take the place of the defending champions in the Champions League. Zaragoza, on the other hand, had to make do with the UEFA Cup.

Since the statutes already provided for no more than four participants per nation in the Champions League, Liverpool FC was not called an English but a "European" club, which means that two teams from one nation do not meet before the round of 16 should, was canceled. Nevertheless, the game results were included in the five-year rating for England. Liverpool FC was promptly drawn into a group with league rivals Chelsea FC at the group draw, both comparisons ended goalless.

This exception rule was not free from controversy. Both the fact that England now had five teams in the top European league and the decision to let Liverpool play through the qualification, one saw a distortion of competition. The qualifying opponents of the English had no chance against the strong defending champion, whereas normally one would have had more equal opponents and thus more the opportunity to qualify for the next rounds. For the following period, UEFA clarified its regulations so that a defending champion is always seeded for the main round, regardless of how he performs in his league.
