Can someone explain how the knockout round in UEFA works?
Whats the first and second leg?
do they get to play the same team twice? if they do how do you determine the winner?

In the knockout round of UEFA championship. Two teams are drawn to play two matches. One at home and One Away.
The total goal scored from the two matches will determine the winner.

From the last 16 until the semi-finals, clubs play two matches against each other on a home and away basis with the same rules as the qualifying rounds applied. In the last 16, group winners play runners-up other than teams from their own pool or nation, while from the quarter-finals on the draw is free.
Aggregate score decides the winner, with away goals worth more...

the knock-out stage of the UEFA Champions' League & UEFA Cup is a straight knock-out competitions. two teams will be paired together & play each other home & away. the teams which scored the most goals will progress to the next stage of the competitions.
should the aggregate scores are level after the home & away matches, the away goals will be the first tie-breaker. aggregate scores means the total goals count from teams that play each other twice, home & away. this is usually used in the knock-out stage of a competition, such as UEFA Champions' League or UEFA Cup. the team that score the most goals over two matches will progress to the next phase.
for example, here's the result of the 2005-2006 UEFA Champions' League knock-out stage:
1st match - Chelsea 1-2 FC Barcelona
2nd match - FC Barcelona 1-1 Chelsea
the above results shows FC Barcelona have scored 3 goals & Chelsea scored 2 goals in total over two matches between them. so FC Barcelona won 3-2 on aggregate & progress to the quarter-finals of the 2005-2006 UEFA Champions' League as FC Barcelona scored more goals than Chelsea.
here is another example from the 2005-2006 UEFA Champions' League knock-out stage:
1st match - Glasgow Rangers 2-2 Villareal SC
2nd match - Villareal SC 1-1 Glasgow Rangers
from the above, both teams has scored 3 goals over two matches but in some competitions, like the UEFA Champions' League, the away goal rules will be used to decide the outcome. away goal means any goal scored by the away team is consider as double. so, Villareal SC scored 2 away goals while Glasgow Rangers scored only 1 goal & Villareal SC progress on away goals rule.

In case you don't know what aggregate means, the most goals after the 2 games wins. Also, each leg is played in each team's home stadium. So for tomorrow's Barca and Liverpool game, the first leg is at Camp Nou and the second leg is at Anfield
