UEFA Champions League knockout round games are decided over two legs were the team that scores the most goals of that series goes on to win the series and move on to the next round. If both teams are tied on total goals, then 30 minutes of extra time is played (the away goals rule is not applied). If the score is still level at the end of extra time, the winner is decided by a penalty shoot-out.
