The 2011–12 UEFA Champions League is the 57th season of the European Cup, Europe's premier football tournament, and the 20th season in its current Champions League format. The final venue will be the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.^[1] As part of a trial that started in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League, two extra officials – one behind each goal – are being used in all matches of the competition.^[2] Barcelona are the defending champions. The winner earns a berth at the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup.

Association team allocation

A total of 76 teams are participating in the 2011–12 Champions League from 52 UEFA associations. Associations are allocated places according to their 2010 UEFA league coefficient, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2005–06 to 2009–10.^[3]

Below is the qualification scheme for the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League:^[4]

• Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify
• Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify
• Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify
• Associations 16–53 each have one team qualify (excluding Liechtenstein)

The winners of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League would have been given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the tournament through their domestic performance; however, this additional entry will not be necessary as Barcelona, winners of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League, qualified for the Champions League through domestic performance.

Distribution

Since the winners of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League, Barcelona, obtained a place in the group stage through their domestic league placing, the reserved defending champion spot in the group stage was vacated. To compensate:^[5]

• The champions of association 13 (Switzerland) were promoted from the third qualifying round to the group stage.
• The champions of association 16 (Scotland) were promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
• The champions of associations 48 and 49 (Faroe Islands and Northern Ireland) were promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.

Notes

• ^TH Title Holder
• Romania (ROU): Because Politehnica Timişoara, the 2010–11 Liga I runners-up, were denied a domestic licence for the 2011–12 season, Vaslui, the third-placed team of the league, claimed the Champions League spot in the third qualifying round League Route.^[7]
• Turkey (TUR): Fenerbahçe, the 2010–11 Süper Lig champions, was banned by the Turkish Football Federation on 24 August 2011 from participating in the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League due to the ongoing investigation into match-fixing.^[8][9] UEFA decided to replace them in the group stage with Trabzonspor, the league runners-up, who had lost in the Champions League third qualifying round and were participating in the Europa League play-off round at that time.^[10]

Group stage

Main article: 2011–12 UEFA Champions League group stage

The group stage features 32 teams, which were allocated into pots based on their 2011 UEFA club coefficients (except the title holders, Barcelona, who were placed in Pot 1 automatically),^[12][13] and then drawn into eight groups of four. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. The draw was held on 25 August 2011 in Monaco.^[17]

In each group, teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The matchdays are 13–14 September, 27–28 September, 18–19 October, 1–2 November, 22–23 November, and 6–7 December 2011. The group winners and runners-up will advance to the round of 16, while the third-placed teams will enter the round of 32 of the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League.

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings (in descending order):^[4]

1. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
2. superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;
3. higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
4. higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question;
5. If, after applying criteria 1) to 4) to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, the criteria 1) to 4) will be reapplied to determine the ranking of these teams;
6. superior goal difference from all group matches played;
7. higher number of goals scored from all group matches played;
8. higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons.

The 32 teams contain eleven former winners of the European Cup/Champions League (40 titles combined), and five teams (Manchester City, Napoli, Trabzonspor, Viktoria Plzeň and Oțelul Galați) which are set to make their debut appearance in the group stage.^[18] Eighteen UEFA member associations are represented in this group stage: England and Spain by four clubs, Italy, Germany and France by three, Russia and Portugal by two, while eleven associations are represented by one club, which are all domestic champions except Trabzonspor, which replaced Fenerbahçe due to match-fixing allegations.
