Qualifications are based on eac countries points standing. The more points you have the more teams from your main division are allowed to take part. The champions of every league in Europe qualify. Most leagues second placed teams qualify too, but in big leages like Italy, Spain and England they get 4 teams per season.
First of all there is a knockout phase to get rid of the shitty teams. Then you have the group stages where 32 of the top teams play a mini league. Top 2 go through to another knockout stage. In this stage its two matches, one at home one away. In this stage the away goals rulle comes into effect. Using Man Utd and Milan as an example. Milan scored two goals in Utd's home leg, now if Milan win 1-0 they go through as away goals count as double in the event of a draw over two legs.
If a match finishes 1-1 in both legs, it goes to extra time and penalties if needed.
That pretty much sums it all up.
