The knockout phase involved the 16 teams which qualified as winners and runners-up of each of the eight groups in the group stage.[1]
Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time was played. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out. In the final, which was played as a single match, if scores were level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if scores remained tied.
The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:
| Group | width=220 | Winners (Seeded in round of 16 draw) | width=220 | Runners-up (Unseeded in round of 16 draw) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Arsenal | Paris Saint-Germain | ||
| B | Napoli | Benfica | ||
| C | Barcelona | Manchester City | ||
| D | Atlético Madrid | Bayern Munich | ||
| E | Monaco | Bayer Leverkusen | ||
| F | Borussia Dortmund | Real Madrid | ||
| G | Leicester City | Porto | ||
| H | Juventus | Sevilla |
