Draw procedure

Eight balls containing the names of the winners of the second round of the domestic champions path were placed in a bowl.

A first ball was drawn from the bowl. The team drawn was placed as the home team in match 1.

In accordance with the above draw conditions, the computer then showed which runners-up from the UEFA Champions League path group stage were eligible to play as the visiting team in match 1. These teams’ names were placed in a bowl.

A ball was drawn from that bowl to complete the pairing for match 1 with the team drawn placed as the visiting team in that match.

The above procedure was repeated for the remaining matches.

If the computer indicated that only one runner-up from the UEFA Champions League path group stage were eligible to play as the visiting team in a match, that team was automatically assigned to the match and no ball was drawn.
