Today at 07:27 AM

Arsenal qualified for the UWCL group stages after overcoming Rangers (6-0), Rosenborg (1-0) and Hacken (4-1 on aggregate) in their preliminary rounds. The group stage still has four groups of four teams, the top two from each group qualifies for the quarter-final.

Next season, the UWCL will move to the Swiss model with an 18-team league, six games but against six different opponents, three home and three away. But for now, we have the more traditional group stage format.
