Champions League: How will the knockout stage work?

The COVID-19 lockdown stopped Europe’s elite competition in mid-March with the round of 16 ties halfway through completion.

As such, the quarter-final and semi-final draws were put on hold and then finally completed on July 10.

Now the tournament is in the middle of a ‘World Cup’-style fortnight to get it done and dusted.

This season’s quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will all be played as a straight knockout tournament in Lisbon.

The ties will be single-leg fixtures and held at either Benfica’s Estadio da Luz or Sporting Lisbon’s Estadio Jose Alvalade.
