Champions League schedule for knockout roundsWith a mid-season men's FIFA World Cup tournament and the resulting scheduling congestion, the rest of the 2023 Champions League knockout schedule will stretch out until June. The current schedule contemplates one round of knockout matches every month between April and June to take us from the quarterfinals to the final at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.
No away goals in Champions LeagueThe away goals tiebreaker which had been a feature of the tournament's knockout rounds since 1965 was abolished for the 2021/22 edition with UEFA citing sporting justice among other reasons. If teams are level on total goals scored after the conclusion of the second leg, then a 30-minute extra time period will be played with a penalty shootout used to determine a winner if the deadlock persists. There were only two knockout round matchups that needed extra time in 2021/22 and both featured eventual champion Real Madrid. The Spanish champions needed extra time to knock off English foes Chelsea (quarterfinals) and Manchester City (semifinals) before taking care of Liverpool in the final in regular time. Who will win the 2023 Champions League? Latest oddsManchester City are the betting favorites, with Bayern Munich right behind them. It seems like the market believes those two teams are far and away the two best sides in the competition. PSG are also considered a top side, but their standing as a group runner-up sees them in third. Liverpool are fourth-favorites despite struggles domestically in the Premier League, while defending champions and La Liga leaders Real Madrid are fifth, still not earning respect for last year's title charge.
