UEFA Champions League 2021-22 Groups and Teams
For political considerations, teams from Ukraine and Russia were not able to be placed in the same group. A team was drawn into Groups A-D, while another was drawn into Groups E-H, such that they would play on different days. Sheriff Tiraspol will make their Champions League debut for the first time in their history. As a result, they will be the first Moldovan team to compete in the Champions League Group Stage.
UEFA Champions League 2021-22 Format
There were a few adjustments to the access list due to Chelsea’s status as defending Champions League champions, who had previously qualified via their local league (fourth place in 2020-21 Premier League). Rather than competing in a Play-off phase, the Turkish association joined the Group phase.
Clubs from Denmark’s association qualified for the Play-off round instead of the third qualifying round since they were the winners of the association. There was no second qualifying round for was set for the Czech Republic clubs. Both the Greek and Serbian association teams qualified for the second qualifying round instead of the first.
