How does the Champions League work?

The Champions League is Europe's top club football competition. Teams play in groups, earning points for wins and draws. The top teams from each group then progress to knockout rounds, culminating in a final. Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich means they shared points, which is better than a loss but not as good as a win for their group standing.
