The group stage saw some of the most thrilling encounters which contributed to upsets as teams like Manchester United and AC Milan failed to qualify for the knockout stage.
Real Madrid and Manchester City had a stellar group stage campaign as both powerhouses had a perfect record; six out of six wins and 18 points.
This is the 69th season of Europe's elite club competition and the 32nd since it was renamed the UEFA Champions League.
The 2023-24 UEFA Champions League final will take place at London's historic Wembley Stadium.
Real Madrid have won the Champions League 14 times, which is the most in history. They are followed by AC Milan who have seven titles in their trophy cabinet.
Manchester City are the defending as Pep Guardiola’s men clinched the title in June 2023 after beating Inter Milan in a nail-biter courtesy of Rodri’s second-half strike that helped them claim their first European trophy.
