Encyclopedia
The knockout phase of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League began on 15 February 2011 and concluded on 28 May 2011 with the final
at Wembley Stadium
in London
, England
. The knockout phase involves the sixteen teams who finished in the top two in each of their groups in the group stage
.
Each tie in the knockout phase
, apart from the final, is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that has the higher aggregate score over the two legs progresses to the next round. In the event that aggregate scores finish level, the away goals rule
is applied, i.e., the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs progresses. If away goals are also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time are played, divided into two fifteen-minutes halves. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e., if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team qualifies by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shootout. In the final, the tie is played as a single match. If scores are level at the end of normal time in the final, extra time is played, followed by penalties if scores remain tied.
In the draw for the round of 16, each of the eight group winners was drawn against a second-place team, with the group winners hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association were not allowed to be drawn against each other. There is a single draw after the round of 16 that determines the pairings for all subsequent rounds. For this draw, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association may be drawn with each other.
