← UEFA Youth League 2017/18

The 2018/19 UEFA Youth League was the sixth season of the most important European competition for U-19 club teams in football. Based on the UEFA Champions League , this competition was played on the one hand by the youth A teams of the clubs that had qualified for the group stage of the Champions League in the same season , and on the other hand by the 32 youth champions of the strongest UEFA nations . The competition began with the first games of the group stage on September 18, 2018 and ended with the final on April 29, 2019 at the Center sportif de Colovray in Nyon .

The defending champions were the juniors of FC Barcelona .

mode

Since the 2015/16 Youth League season, the competition has been held in a two-pronged system. On the one hand, there is the UEFA Champions League path, in which the 32 senior youth teams of the clubs that qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in the same year compete in eight groups of four teams compete. The first in each group qualifies directly for the round of 16. The composition of the groups is based on the draw for the group stage of the 2018/19 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 in a playoff round against eight teams from the national championship path. 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). 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.
