Qualified teams
The winners of each of the eight groups in the group stage qualified for the knockout stage.
Seeding
The qualified teams were seeded 1–8 in the knockout stage according to their results in the group stage.
Format
In the knockout stage, the eight teams play a single-elimination tournament. Each tie is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg. The away goals rule is used if the aggregate score is level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so a tie is decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score is level after extra time of the second leg (Regulations, II. D. Tie-Breaker Procedures).
