  • The new-look UEFA Champions League has taken some getting used to, but the league phase has been exhilarating for viewers around the globe.

The UEFA Champions League has specific tiebreaker rules to determine team rankings when points are level in the league phase. According to the article, if teams are tied on points, the first tiebreaker is the head-to-head results between the teams in question. If this does not resolve the tie, the next criteria include: goal difference in all group matches, goals scored in all group matches, away goals scored in all group matches, wins in all group matches, away wins in all group matches, disciplinary points based on yellow and red cards, and finally, the club's coefficient if all other criteria are equal. These rules ensure a fair and systematic approach to breaking ties, promoting competition and fairness in the tournament.
