الخميس مارس 19 - 15:23 I'm not certain this is correct but the way I see it is:
Group Stage
There are 9 groups and the best 6 group winners advance to round 2.
Round 2
3 matches and the 3 winners qualify for the finals.
Round 3
6 teams advance to the next round, so there must be 6 matches and 12 teams.
It doesn't say but it would be reasonable to assume that the 12 teams are:
- the 3 losers from round 2
- the 3 group winners who didn't play in round 2
- the best 6 runners-up from the group stage
Round 4
The 6 teams who won in round 3 play each other and the 3 winners qualify for the finals.
