Brown: Group A; Red: Group B

The 1992–93 UEFA Champions League group stage, originally branded as simply the 1992–93 UEFA Champions League, began on 25 November 1992 and ended on 21 April 1993. The 8 teams were divided into two groups of four, and the teams in each group played against each other on a home-and-away basis, meaning that each team played a total of six group matches. For each win, teams were awarded two points, with one point awarded for each draw. At the end of the group stage, the first team in each group advanced to the final of the 1992–93 UEFA Champions League.[1]

Originally, the UEFA Champions League was only the group stage, a specific phase in the European Cup.

Teams and draw

The eight winners of the second round advanced to the group stage. The draw was held on 6 November 1992 in Geneva, Switzerland.[2] The eight teams were drawn into two groups of four. The draw was open, with no seedings or pots used.[3]
