At the completion of the second group stage, the top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals, while the other two teams were eliminated from European competition.
Seeding structure
The winners of the first group stage groups are put into seeded pots 1 and 2 according to their UEFA coefficients. The 4 group-winners with the best coefficients will go into seed pot 1. The 8 group runners-up will be put into seed pots 3 and 4 according to the same principle, i.e. the 4 clubs with the best coefficients will go into seed pot 3. One club from each seed pot will be drawn into each of the four groups. Clubs from the same association cannot be drawn into the same group and group-winners and runners-up from the same first-stage group will not be drawn into the same group again.
