From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2021–22 UEFA Youth League knockout phase began on 8 February 2022 with the play-off round and ended with the final on 25 April 2022 at Colovray Stadium in Nyon, Switzerland, to decide the champions of the 2021–22 UEFA Youth League.[1] All matches were played across 90 minutes and penalty shoot-out if necessary.

Times are CET/CEST.

Format

[edit]

The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

  • In the draw for the knockout round play-offs, the eight second round winners from the Domestic Champions Path were drawn against the eight group runners-up from the UEFA Champions League Path, with the teams from the Domestic Champions Path hosting the match. Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.
  • In the draw for the round of 16, there were no seedings, and the sixteen teams (eight UEFA Champions League Path group winners and eight play-off winners) were drawn into eight ties. Teams from the same UEFA Champions League Path group could not be drawn against each other, but teams from the same association could be drawn against each other. The draw also decided the home team for each round of 16 match.
  • In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there were no seedings, and teams from the same UEFA Champions League Path group or the same association could be drawn against each other (the identity of the quarter-final winners and onwards was not known at the time of the draws). The draws also decided the home team for each quarter-final, and which quarter-final and semi-final winners were designated as the "home" team for each semi-final and final (for administrative purposes as they were played at a neutral venue).
