The 2009β10 UEFA Champions League was the 55th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 18th under the current UEFA Champions League format. The final was played on 22 May 2010 at the Santiago BernabΓ©u Stadium in Madrid, Spain, the first time the final was played on a Saturday. [1] [2] The final was won by Italian club Inter Milan, who beat German side Bayern Munich 2β0.
Inter Milan went on to represent Europe in the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup, beating Congolese side TP Mazembe 3β0 in the final, and played in the 2010 UEFA Super Cup against Europa League winners AtlΓ©tico Madrid, losing 2β0.
Barcelona were the defending champions, but they were eliminated by eventual winners Inter Milan in the semi-finals. [3] [4]
A total of 76 teams participated in the 2009β10 Champions League, from 52 UEFA associations ( Liechtenstein organises no domestic league competition). Associations were allocated places according to their 2008 UEFA country coefficient, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2003β04 to 2007β08. [5]

In a new system for the Champions League, there were two separate qualifying tournaments. [9] The Champions Path (which started from the first qualifying round) was for clubs which won their domestic league and did not automatically qualify for the group stage, while the Non-Champions Path (which started from the third qualifying round) was for clubs which did not win their domestic league and did not automatically qualify for the group stage.
In the qualifying phase and the play-off round, teams played against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis.
The draw for the first and second qualifying rounds, conducted by UEFA President Michel Platini and UEFA General Secretary David Taylor, was held on 22 June 2009, and the draw for the third qualifying round, conducted by UEFA Competitions Director Giorgio Marchetti and Head of Club Competitions Michael Heselschwerdt, was held on 17 July 2009. For the draws, clubs were separated into seeded and unseeded teams based on their club coefficient. Because the draws for the second and third qualifying rounds took place before the previous round was completed, the teams were seeded assuming the seeded side in the previous round would be victorious.
The first legs were played on 30 June and 1 July, and the second legs were played on 7 and 8 July 2009.
Team 1 | Agg. | Team 2 | 1st leg | 2nd leg |

The first legs were played on 14 and 15 July, and the second legs were played on 21 and 22 July 2009.
Partizan's 8β0 win over Rhyl in the second leg equalled the record for the largest margin of victory in the current Champions League format.
As of November 2009 [update], the second leg between Stabæk and Tirana was under investigation by UEFA and German authorities for possible match-fixing. [10]

The draw for the group stage was held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 27 August 2009. A total of 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. Teams were divided into four pots, based on their club coefficient. Clubs from the same pot or the same association cannot be drawn into the same group.
In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away. The matchdays were 15β16 September, 29β30 September, 20β21 October, 3β4 November, 24β25 November, and 8β9 December 2009. The top two in each group advanced to the knockout phase, and the third-placed teams entered the round of 32 of the 2009β10 UEFA Europa League.
Based on Article 7.06 in the UEFA regulations, if two or more teams were equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria were applied to determine the rankings: [6]
AZ, VfL Wolfsburg, Standard Liège, Zürich, APOEL, Rubin Kazan, Unirea Urziceni and Debrecen all made their debuts in the group stage. [11]

The final of the 2009β10 UEFA Champions League was played at the Santiago BernabΓ©u Stadium in Madrid on 22 May 2010, between Germany's Bayern Munich and Italy's Inter Milan. [14] The stadium, home of Real Madrid, had hosted three previous European Cup finals, in 1957, 1969 and 1980. [15] It was the first time that a UEFA Champions League final was played on a Saturday night. [16] [17] [18] [19] England's Howard Webb was appointed to referee the final. [20] The two clubs competing in the Final had each won their domestic league and cup competitions, meaning that the winner would become only the sixth club in Europe to have achieved a continental treble, and the first such club from their respective countries. It was also the second consecutive treble, following that of Barcelona in the previous season.

In a new system for the Champions League, there were two separate qualifying tournaments. [9] The Champions Path (which started from the first qualifying round) was for clubs which won their domestic league and did not automatically qualify for the group stage, while the Non-Champions Path (which started from the third qualifying round) was for clubs which did not win their domestic league and did not automatically qualify for the group stage.
In the qualifying phase and the play-off round, teams played against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis.
The draw for the first and second qualifying rounds, conducted by UEFA President Michel Platini and UEFA General Secretary David Taylor, was held on 22 June 2009, and the draw for the third qualifying round, conducted by UEFA Competitions Director Giorgio Marchetti and Head of Club Competitions Michael Heselschwerdt, was held on 17 July 2009. For the draws, clubs were separated into seeded and unseeded teams based on their club coefficient. Because the draws for the second and third qualifying rounds took place before the previous round was completed, the teams were seeded assuming the seeded side in the previous round would be victorious.
The first legs were played on 30 June and 1 July, and the second legs were played on 7 and 8 July 2009.

The first legs were played on 14 and 15 July, and the second legs were played on 21 and 22 July 2009.
Partizan's 8β0 win over Rhyl in the second leg equalled the record for the largest margin of victory in the current Champions League format.
As of November 2009 [update], the second leg between Stabæk and Tirana was under investigation by UEFA and German authorities for possible match-fixing. [10]

The draw for the group stage was held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 27 August 2009. A total of 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. Teams were divided into four pots, based on their club coefficient. Clubs from the same pot or the same association cannot be drawn into the same group.
In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away. The matchdays were 15β16 September, 29β30 September, 20β21 October, 3β4 November, 24β25 November, and 8β9 December 2009. The top two in each group advanced to the knockout phase, and the third-placed teams entered the round of 32 of the 2009β10 UEFA Europa League.
Based on Article 7.06 in the UEFA regulations, if two or more teams were equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria were applied to determine the rankings: [6]
AZ, VfL Wolfsburg, Standard Liège, Zürich, APOEL, Rubin Kazan, Unirea Urziceni and Debrecen all made their debuts in the group stage. [11]

The final of the 2009β10 UEFA Champions League was played at the Santiago BernabΓ©u Stadium in Madrid on 22 May 2010, between Germany's Bayern Munich and Italy's Inter Milan. [14] The stadium, home of Real Madrid, had hosted three previous European Cup finals, in 1957, 1969 and 1980. [15] It was the first time that a UEFA Champions League final was played on a Saturday night. [16] [17] [18] [19] England's Howard Webb was appointed to referee the final. [20] The two clubs competing in the Final had each won their domestic league and cup competitions, meaning that the winner would become only the sixth club in Europe to have achieved a continental treble, and the first such club from their respective countries. It was also the second consecutive treble, following that of Barcelona in the previous season.
