The 2018–19 UEFA Champions League knockout phase began on 12 February and ended on 1 June 2019 with the final at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, to decide the champions of the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League. A total of 16 teams competed in the knockout phase.

For the first time, the video assistant referee (VAR) system was used in the Champions League knockout phase.

Times are CET/CEST, as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).

Round and draw dates

The schedule is as follows (all draws are held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).

Format

Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e. the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, then extra time is played. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e. if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the winners are decided by a penalty shoot-out. In the final, which is played as a single match, if the score is level at the end of normal time, extra time is played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the score is still level.

The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:

• In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
• In the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association can be drawn against each other. As the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals are held together before the quarter-finals are played, the identity of the quarter-final winners is not known at the time of the semi-final draw. A draw is also held to determine which semi-final winner is designated as the "home" team for the final (for administrative purposes as it is played at a neutral venue).

For the quarter-finals and semi-finals, teams from the same city (e.g., Manchester City and Manchester United) are not scheduled to play at home on the same day or on consecutive days, due to logistics and crowd control. To avoid such scheduling conflict, if the two teams are drawn to play at home for the same leg, the order of legs of the tie involving the team with the lower domestic ranking in the qualifying season (e.g., Manchester United for this season) is reversed from the original draw.

Qualified teams

The knockout phase involved the 16 teams which qualified as winners and runners-up of each of the eight groups in the group stage.

Group	Winners (seeded in round of 16 draw)	Runners-up (unseeded in round of 16 draw)
A	Borussia Dortmund	Atlético Madrid
B	Barcelona	Tottenham Hotspur
C	Paris Saint-Germain	Liverpool
D	Porto	Schalke 04
E	Bayern Munich	Ajax
F	Manchester City	Lyon
G	Real Madrid	Roma
H	Juventus	Manchester United

The draw for the round of 16 was held on 17 December 2018, 12:00 CET.

Manchester United became the first team in UEFA Champions League history to advance after losing at home by two goals or more in the first leg. Including the European Cup era, only Ajax managed this feat, winning a play-off match they forced in the 1968–69 European Cup quarter-finals against Benfica after losing 1–3 in the first leg at home and winning 3–1 in the second leg away.

Summary

The first legs were played on 12, 13, 19 and 20 February, and the second legs were played on 5, 6, 12 and 13 March 2019.

Liverpool won 4–3 on aggregate.

In the first leg of the semi-finals at the Camp Nou, Barcelona defeated Liverpool 3–0, with goals coming from former Liverpool player Luis Suárez and a brace from Lionel Messi, while Liverpool missed several chances to score.

Barcelona went into the second leg after a 2–0 loss to Celta Vigo in La Liga, though they rested every single one of the players that started this match, with the exception of Arturo Vidal, having already won the title. Liverpool, on the other hand, were in an intense Premier League title race with Manchester City and needed a win to stay within reach of the Citizens. An 86th minute winning goal by substitute Divock Origi helped them defeat Newcastle United 3–2 at St James' Park.

Ahead of the second leg, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were ruled out for Liverpool through injury, while Barcelona's Ousmane Dembélé suffered an injury against Celta Vigo and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Liverpool started the match the better side as Divock Origi opened the scoring seven minutes in after Jordan Henderson's shot was saved by Marc-André ter Stegen, and the Belgian capitalised with an easy tap-in on the follow up.

Barcelona had several chances in the first half, but Alisson of Liverpool made crucial saves to keep Liverpool in the tie.

Nine minutes into the second half Georginio Wijnaldum made it 2–0 after Trent Alexander-Arnold's deflected cross came into his path and he smashed it into the net. 122 seconds later the Dutch international got his second and Liverpool's third with a header after Xherdan Shaqiri's cross.

Divock Origi won the tie after Trent Alexander-Arnold took a quick corner and Origi got the fourth as he reacted quickest to the ball.

The match is considered to be one of the greatest comebacks in UEFA Champions League history. Liverpool's manager Jürgen Klopp described it as a "very special night", whilst Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde admitted that Liverpool "rolled them over".

Jürgen Klopp described the match as special and unforgettable, and Valverde said: "They have been really strong, they played really well. We've got to congratulate them on the performance they put up in the tie as a whole. "It is a terrible result for our fans and for ourselves. We didn't expect a situation like this. This is what has happened to us. It is really, really unfortunate but credit is due to Liverpool." Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk added to that in saying "We always believed that we could pull of a miracle."

Five days later, Liverpool wrapped up their Premier League campaign with a 2–0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, finishing with 97 points, in second place behind Manchester City who got 98 points. Liverpool's Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah both collected the Golden Boot, also joint with Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with 22 goals each. The Reds then won the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time in their history, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 2–0 in the final.

Barcelona's manager Ernesto Valverde was sacked in January 2020 and many fans believe that the 4–0 loss was the catalyst for the sacking. Barcelona finished up their La Liga season with a 2–0 win over Getafe at home before a 2–2 draw at Eibar on the final day. They then lost the Copa del Rey Final against Valencia.
