mode
Compared to the previous year, there were only minor changes to the competition mode. In the regional elimination rounds (except Argentina and Brazil), the clubs of one country no longer played against each other, but against the club of the other country. As usual, the respective winners qualified for the round of 16. Another six teams qualified directly for the round of 16. These were two teams from Argentina and the four teams from the CONCACAF division. From the last sixteen onwards, the game was played in a pure knockout system with a return leg. In the event of a tie for points and goals , the away goal rule applied . If the number of goals scored away from home was the same, a penalty shoot-out followed immediately after the second leg . This rule also applied to the final.
