This thesis is aimed at exploring the attacking actions characteristics of football clubs who participated in the knockout rounds of the "Champions League" for the seasons 2016/17 and 2018/19, in order to accomplish continuity in monitoring and recognizing new tactical tendencies within the most successful football clubs. For the purpose of this study, both semi-final and the final matches for seasons 2016/17 and 2018/19 were analyzed, hence 5 matches were observed by the season, or 10 matches of the knockout phase in total. No significant difference in the rate of successful attacks was determined between the observed seasons, and the vast majority of successful attacks performed by the teams were the started in the danger zone, whereby the interception, winning "the second ball" and offensive set-pieces are the most frequent ones. The results obtained by this research show that there is no significant difference when it comes to the structural organization of the attacks and that there is certain continuity in terms of technical and tactical tasks performed by the teams in the knockout phase of the "Champions league". The most usual way of creating space for a shot is an individual action, and it is noticed that the most successful teams perform their shots on target inside the box, whereby the most dominant ones are those performed inside the 5-11m and 11-16m zones. The results obtained by this research provided certain guidelines on modern trends in football which can be applied in practice, both in the aspect of profiling technical and tactical development of young players, and in the aspect of determining tactical plan for certain teams.
