Slutspillet

Slutspillet, also known as the Final Game or the Final Round, is a term used in the context of the UEFA Champions League, the premier club football competition in Europe. It refers to the final two matches of the competition, which determine the overall winner. These matches are played between the two teams that have progressed the furthest in the knockout stage of the tournament.

The Final Game is a single-elimination format, meaning that the team that loses in the final match is eliminated from the competition. The winning team, however, advances to the Final Round, where they will play against the other team that has progressed the furthest in the knockout stage. The team that wins the Final Round is crowned the UEFA Champions League winner for that season.

The Final Game is typically played over two legs, with each team playing one match at their home stadium. The team with the highest aggregate score over the two matches advances to the Final Round. If the aggregate score is tied, the away goals rule is applied, and if the score is still tied, a penalty shootout is used to determine the winner.

The Final Game is a highly anticipated event in European football, as it determines the best club team in the continent. The matches are usually played in May, and the winner is crowned at a special ceremony held in Monaco. The UEFA Champions League trophy is awarded to the winning team, and they are invited to participate in the following season's UEFA Champions League group stage.
