The draw for the Champions League League Phase has been finalized, revealing the path for the 36 participating clubs in Europe's elite club competition. This new format introduces a league-style phase where every team will play a total of eight matches.

Under the new structure, each club will face two opponents from each of the four seeding pots, playing one match at home and one away against each. This guarantees a minimum of eight high-stakes encounters for every team involved.

Following the conclusion of the League Phase, the top eight teams in the standings will automatically advance to the Round of 16. Teams ranked from 9th to 24th will then enter a knockout playoff round to compete for the remaining eight spots in the next stage.

Greek club AEK is one of the 36 teams that now knows its full list of eight opponents. The exact dates and kick-off times for these matches are expected to be announced on Saturday, August 29.
