Group stage

In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The teams were ranked according to the following criteria: 1. Points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss); 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Away goals scored; 5. Drawing of lots.

If two teams from the same national association tie on points, the above criteria would not apply and their final positions would be determined in an extra match to be played at a neutral venue within their own country. Winners of this match qualified for the round of 16; in the event of a draw, the team with the best goal difference in the group would have qualified.

The winners, runners-up and third placed teams of each group advanced to the round of 16 of the final stages.
