==Early issues==
===Italian Serie A scandal===
The Italian qualifiers should have been, according to the results of the ] campaign, ], ], ], and ]. After the ], the four teams were decided on 25 July.

Internazionale and ] were confirmed as the direct entrants to the group stage. Milan and ] were confirmed as the entrants into the third qualifying round. Originally, Milan were barred from the Champions League for their role in the ], but were restored to the competition on appeal, although instead of entering the group stage directly, they first had to negotiate a third qualifying round tie, in which they beat ] 3–1 on ].<ref name="Serie A appeals">{{cite news |title=Punishments cut for Italian clubs |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/5215178.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=26 July 2006 |accessdate=21 December 2007 | archiveurl = http://www.webcitation.org/5wfdqW4XV | archivedate = 2011-02-21| deadurl=no}}</ref> This move by the Italian FA has proved to be a point of contention, since Milan went on to win the competition.

===Suspension of Hellenic Football Federation===
The participation of Greek teams in this year's tournament was in doubt following ]'s suspension of the ] from all international competition because of government interference in the running of the sport in Greece.

==Later issues==
===Doubt over matches to be played in Italy===

As a result, the venues of the first leg of the Inter-Valencia tie scheduled for 21 February and the second leg of the Celtic-Milan tie scheduled for 7 March were thrown into doubt.

==Knockout stage==
{{main|2006–07 UEFA Champions League knockout stage}} {{#lst:2006–07 UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds|Q1}}
All knockout rounds are two-legged, except for the final. In the event of aggregate scores being equal after normal time in the second leg, the winning team will be that which scored more goals on their away leg: if the scores in the two matches were identical, extra time is played. The ] also applies if scores are equal at the end of extra time. If there are no goals scored in extra time, the tie is decided on a penalty shoot out.

International football competition

The 2006–07 UEFA Champions League was the 15th season of UEFA's premier European club football tournament, the UEFA Champions League, since it was rebranded from the European Cup, and the 52nd season overall. The final was contested by Milan and Liverpool on 23 May 2007. Beforehand, the match was billed as a repeat of the 2005 final, the only difference being that the 2007 final was to be played at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece. Milan won the match 2–1 to claim their seventh European Cup, with both goals coming from Filippo Inzaghi. Dirk Kuyt scored for Liverpool.

Barcelona were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Liverpool in the first knockout round.

Qualification

A total of 73 teams from 49 UEFA member associations participated in the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League. Liechtenstein (who did not have their own domestic league) as well as the 2 lowest-ranked federations, Andorra and San Marino, did not participate. Montenegro, which did not become a UEFA member until January 2007 also did not take part. Each association enters a certain number of clubs to the Champions League based on its league coefficient, which takes into account the performance of its clubs in European competitions from 2000–01 to 2004–05; associations with a higher league coefficients may enter more clubs than associations with a lower league coefficient, but no association may enter more than four teams. Italy's representatives were decided based on the revised table following the match-fixing scandal which saw Juventus relegated to Serie B after winning the league the previous season.

  • Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
  • Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify.
  • Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify.
  • Associations 16–50 (except Liechtenstein) each have one team qualify.

Notes

Italy (ITA): Based on the initial final league positions, Juventus and Milan earned direct entries to the Group Stage, while Internazionale and Fiorentina earned berths in a Third qualifying round.

Internazionale were promoted to the Group Stage. Roma were promoted from UEFA Cup to Champions League Group stage. Chievo were promoted from UEFA Cup to Champions League Third qualifying round.
  2. Serbia (SRB): Red Star Belgrade qualified for this season's UEFA competitions though Serbia and Montenegro domestic league, but represented its official successor Serbia, due to Montenegro becoming an independent nation on 3 June 2006.

Knockout phase

Main article: 2006–07 UEFA Champions League knockout stage

All knockout rounds are two-legged, except for the final. In the event of aggregate scores being equal after normal time in the second leg, the winning team will be that which scored more goals on their away leg: if the scores in the two matches were identical, extra time is played. The away goals rule also applies if scores are equal at the end of extra time. If there are no goals scored in extra time, the tie is decided on a penalty shootout.

The final was played over just one match, with extra time in case of a draw after 90 minutes. If the teams were still level following extra time, a penalty shootout would have determined the winner.

Round of 16

The draw for the first knockout round of the competition took place on 15 December 2006 in Nyon, Switzerland. The team drawn first in each tie plays the first leg of their tie at home, and the second leg away.

On 8 February 2007, the Italian government announced that the San Siro in Milan was unsafe for spectators after the rioting that had occurred during and after a league match in Catania six days earlier. As a result, the venues of the first leg of the Inter-Valencia tie scheduled for 21 February and the second leg of the Celtic-Milan tie scheduled for 7 March were thrown into doubt. Various proposals and offers of the use of stadia outside Italy were made, but it was finally agreed that the Inter-Valencia tie would be played at the San Siro with a reduced capacity of 36,000. After further work at the San Siro, Italian authorities and UEFA announced that the second leg of Celtic-Milan would go ahead at the stadium, at its full capacity of 85,700. 4,500 seats were reserved for Celtic supporters.

The first legs were played on 20 and 21 February 2007, with the second legs on 6 and 7 March.

Theodoros Zagorakis, the captain of Greece in Euro 2004, was appointed ambassador for the final.

The first legs were played on 3 and 4 April, and the second legs were played on 10 and 11 April 2007.
