The stakes are rising as the 2021-22 Champions League whittles down the field to the final four clubs in the competition, with three English and three Spanish sides still vying for a semifinal spot.
While powerful clubs like PSG and Juventus suffered disappointing early exits, the remaining sides are all highly competitive and full of talent.
The remaining Champions League bracket through to the final follows below. The complete quarterfinal and semifinal matchups include dates, times, TV and streaming information available so far. Each home-and-home series is played over two legs, and the team with the most goals scored at the end of the second leg advances to the quarterfinals.
There is one major rule change to keep in mind for these knockouts: For the first time since 1965, there is no away goals tiebreaker in the case that an aggregate-goal series is tied after 180 minutes of action. Teams will head straight into a 30-minute extra time session, followed by a penalty-kick shootout if the deadlock persists.

UEFA Champions League final
The Champions League final will be played at Stade de France in Saint-Denis just outside Paris, France in May. It was originally scheduled to be played in St. Petersburg, Russia, but was moved after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
There are clubs from four different countries still remaining in the competition, but what's for sure is that a French club will not be playing the final in its home nation, as both remaining French sides in the knockouts — PSG and Lille — were eliminated in the Round of 16.

The 2021-2022 edition of the UEFA Champions League returns with a familiar format and one major new twist.
As usual, the tournament started out with a group stage (eight groups of four teams each), and only the top two finishers in each group advanced to the Round of 16 that kicked off in February 2022. Two-leg, aggregate-goal knockout rounds are played the rest of the way through to the single game final that will be held on May 28, 2022 in France.

No away goals tiebreaker
Here's a twist: For the first time since 1965, there is no away goals tiebreaker used in the knockout rounds of UEFA competitions, including the Champions League. It was abolished in June 2021.
Series that are tied on aggregate goals after the conclusion of the second leg will go straight to extra time and, if necessary, a penalty-kick shootout.
