← UEFA Youth League 2014/15

The 2015/16 UEFA Youth League was the third season of the most important European competition for U-19 club teams in football. For the first time, the competition was held in two tracks. Based on the UEFA Champions League , this competition was played on the one hand by the youth teams of the clubs that had qualified for the group stage of the Champions League in the same season , on the other hand the 32 youth champions of the strongest nations in UEFA played against each other. The competition started with the first group stage matches on September 15, 2015 and ended with the final on April 18, 2016 at the Center sportif de Colovray in Nyon . The defending champion was Chelsea , which was able to successfully defend its title from the previous year.

mode

From the 2015/16 Youth League season, the competition will be held in a two-pronged system. On the one hand, there is the UEFA Champions League route, in which the 32 youth A teams from the clubs that have qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League compete in eight groups of four teams. The format of the previous seasons is retained, with the difference that only the first in each group qualifies directly for the round of 16. The composition of the groups is also based on the draw for the group stage of the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League .

If two or more teams are tied at the end of all group matches, the decision (in this order)

  1. Number of points in direct comparison
  2. Goal difference in direct comparison
  3. Number of goals in direct comparison
  4. Number of away goals in direct comparison
  5. If, after applying criteria 1-4, two teams still occupy the same place in the table, criteria 1-4 are reapplied for these two teams. If this does not result in a definitive placement, criteria 6–9 will be applied.
  6. Goal difference from all group matches
  7. Higher number of goals scored
  8. Lower number of points from yellow and red cards (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, yellow-red card = 3 points)
  9. Drawing of lots

The runners-up compete against eight teams from the national championship path in a newly introduced playoff round. For the championship path, the 32 youth champions of the strongest nations qualify according to the UEFA club coefficient . If associations are involved without a national youth championship, or if the national champions are already represented in the UEFA Champions League format, the next nation moves up in the UEFA ranking. These champions play in two qualifying rounds, each with a home and away leg, against a different champion (same as the UEFA Champions League qualifying round mode). If there is a tie after the first and second leg, there is a direct penalty shoot-out. The 16 winners of the first round play off the eight teams in a second qualifying round with a return game, which compete in the play-offs against the runners-up in the Champions League path, with the play-offs being decided in just one game. The eight winners of the play-offs qualify for the round of 16, in which the group winners of the Champions League path intervene again. In the knockout phase up to the final, all winners are determined in one game each. As in the previous format, the semi-finals and the final will continue to be played in a mini-tournament at a neutral location.

2After the game, Valencia CF protested against the penalty shoot-out, which was rejected by UEFA on February 29, 2016. The ball from Alberto Gil's penalty kick had clearly crossed the goal line on TV images before it rolled off a cross strut back onto the pitch. The hit was not given.
