AFC Champions League[edit]

Group stage[edit]

The draw for the group stage was held on 17 January 2022.^[29] Despite finishing the group stage undefeated with 3 wins and 3 draws; Melbourne City finished in second place due to goal difference, missing out on an automatic spot in the knockout stage of the tournament. They also didn't advance as one of the best runner-ups, due to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, Urawa Red Diamonds, and Kitchee performing better than them in their respective groups.^[30]^[31]
