In our latest video in our Explained series, we are looking at why UEFA has decided it wants to scrap the away goals rule! Since 1967 it has been a regular feature of the European Cup and later the Champions League, settling equal ties based on away performances. But following a review, it’s been concluded that the rule is not necessary in the modern game.
We take a look at the reasons behind UEFA’s decision, and explore how updated stadiums and improved pitches have made life on the road much easier for the modern club. Then we revisit some classic European nights decided by away goals, before hearing the voices who have been calling for its removal, from Arsene Wenger to Diego Simeone.
Let us know if you think it was a good or bad idea to scrap away goals in the comments below!

Liverpool fan here, the away goal is good and really creates uncertainty in a match, and that’s what makes a football more interesting.
@ae liverpool fan here, haaayeeaah
Bull$hit. The away goal is one of the stupidiest rules i´ve ever seen. It doesn´t even make sense

*Liverpool fan here. I'm in favour of away goal rule but not in the extra time.*
@ae 😂😂😂😂😂 ok 3-0 4-0
they should only remove away goals when games go into extra time
Agreed

There won't be extra time with away goals

@@willcardwe3162 there's no point in that it doesn't happen too often
That would be confusing to a large part of the casual viewers. ''Away goals count double, but only partially'' Imagine TV commentators trying to explain that to viewers that dont follow football continuously.
You didn't mention Inter losing the semi to Milan on away goals despite both teams playing at home
Trick sana
lmao
😂🤣
They should have treated it home for whichever team had more supporters
That’s actually pretty funny if you think about it lol
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Now get rid of penalties and add extra extra time or play until the first team gives up. Even better the teams captain has to pick a player from his team and to fight another player from the other team to their death.
Actually sounds bad ass. I wanna see Pepe vs Diego Costa.
Bro, lets not stop at that, just reduce the 11 man team to 6, makes it more fair for the schedule
The managers get to shoot the first penalty in a shootout
Why not just do away with the ball altogether
The away goals rule made matches between teams of comparable quality more delicately poised. I liked it. We‘ll see a huge uptick in chronic rearguard defending and penalties.
Never liked it anyway
goals should all count the same
No it just ruined champions league football away goal made it intense now it’s just whatever
Allow me to agree to disagree... goals can count the same but to become Champions of the Champions/Europa League, if your defense can't step up to the plate and defend home turf, then Auf Wiedersehen, Arrivederci, Adios, Tot ziens, HIT THE ROAD, JACK... Away goals are fair!
Explained is my favorite series on RUclips
Football fans have become so damn reactionary. Any decision taken by a authority and fans on the social media say, "Football is finished".🤦♂️
Honestly. Its like they automatically associate any form of change with "its all over"
This is a terrible move, no matter how you look at it
I don’t think that’s really how you’re supposed to use that word.

*reactive
Actually i kinda liked the away goal advantage
•it pushes other teams to do better and score more goals
•it becomes more strategic
•teams would try to finish on top of their group
And gave smaller teams to win on aggregate for few goals! This expands competitiveness, but also reduces hope
Yeah but its unfair if you play home in the second leg since the other team have 90+30 to get away goals
Bring back hot takes
Now away teams have no incentive to score and will just sit 11 men behind the ball for 90 mins.
That's literally what real did lol
The away goals rule is such a great idea that it should have been introduced into the Log formats across all leagues. If you win away from home you get 3.5 points.
Y’all should do a vid where y’all suggest players who should change positions
Manchester United probably contributed heavily in the increase of away goals/wins

TBH, I like the away goals rule in terms of deciding a tie, in an age where there's more and more games players have to play, we don't want every tie that ends in a draw to go to extra time, so away goals is a good differential, but I certainly agree that it's unfair on the home team in the second leg if a game does go to extra time that the away team has an extra half an hour to score an away goal. For me, it should just be scrapped in extra time but keep it across 90 minutes.
Yes, the gap has closed between the home and away teams, but there was still a reasonable gap, so you can't say there isn't a home team advantage just because it's smaller than it used to be. And I do agree that sometimes it makes the home team more defensive, but that hasn't detracted from some magnificent ties over the years, like the ones mentioned in the video. Also, it means teams aren't playing for a draw if the scoreline is already higher than the first leg, which can make the game more exciting because there's always a team that needs a goal to not get knocked out, whereas without away goals, teams can just play for extra time and penalties if they don't think they stand much chance at winning the tie in 90 minutes anymore
@Souven Tudu I removed the other comments, since they don't make sense anymore.😁
But, you do realize that this Law of Agregate is what we had until now?
Bottom line: I like any rules that prevent the matches to go to boring/unfair penalty shootouts. So, abolishing away goals rule without implementing newer rule to prevent the shootouts is a very dumb move imho.
yes FD was wondering why they did this thanks for the info. Best football channel on youtube
I always disliked the away goals rule.
Football is a balance between attack and defence, why favour away attacks over away defences? Or home defences over home attacks?
Like the video states, it was originally a strategy to encourage away teams to attack instead of parking the bus.
At least it made ties more exciting and caused a lot of upsets , it's better than going to extra time where nothing happens and the players are unnecessarily put through 30 ,invites of torture in an already grueling season
@@jonnstewart2023 i have never liked away goals rules nor extra time. For me if neither can win after 90+ minutes then just take it to penalties and get it overwith. No sense in making the players run around another 30 already exhausted and having viewers sit thru what is usually an uneventful half hour. Maybe one 15 minute overtime period would do.
@Souven Tudu STOP SPAMMING THE COMMENT SECTION PUTTING THE SAME DUMB COMMENT OVER AND OVER...
@@jonnstewart2023
"Ties more exciting"?
...seriously dude? What planet and what leagues have you been watching? "Exciting" my ass. It only made teams more likely to build a brick wall around their net the moment they had an away goal scored. I've seen more 2nd matches ruined by this rule and more teams unjustly eliminated than I can possibly count.
Wow, three references to my own beloved home town club Dunfermline Athletic. There was a shot of our plastic pitch when the UEFA trial started. Sir Alex played for us, in Europe in the 60s. And, most importantly, our Cup Winners Cup tie against Benfica that ended 6-6. We were barely a full time club at the time but we had a GREAT team. We lost the third game three days later in a neat empty stadium halfway across Europe 3 days later. We were the straw that broke the camel's back. Was also the record European comeback after losing in Portugal 4-0 in the first leg. The rule came in right after our tie.
Tbh arsen Wenger said most rules are outdated when they went against him.
The guy wanted rid of throw ins because he conceded a goal from a long throw
Yeah bro he was the biggest moaner of all time typical French sook.
Love this series
Its a good thing. Teams just advancing cause of that rules doesnt make sense since goal is a goal. Football is about scoring more and advancing not advancing even thoug the score is 3:3. This takes away the pressure of not conceding so teams can just go for the win without caring about conceded goals. Also sometimes you have a bad day and conceding goals at home put you on disadvantage right away.
This is one of the worst rules removed ever.
Do you mind if I ask why you think that?
Bro it's unfair
The rule I mean
I honestly didn't like it i mean it's dumb if you think about it you've scored the same amount of goals as me but you go through because you scored a goal in my stadium?
@@maxheat312 The rule was made to minimize the chances of going to extra time because TV companies didnt like it... Besides that it makes teams more speculative rather than going to attack
It’s really fundamental... Score more goals than the other lot. Win the bloody game!
No more playing for a tactical draw. Good!
Exactly
This is a good decision. Goals should be goals.

@@richardfinlayson1524 i mean arnt penalties a thing + there may times when there is no away goals in both legs.... How do they decided the draw then
Home teams still have a massive edge. Also, extra time will be played on the pitch of the second leg's home team, giving them an unfair edge.
To sum up it's all feelings and not backed up by the stats.
"Duckla" Prague? Surely it's 'dookla' with the -oo- as in soon. Great video, very informative.
Jo mas pravdu.
Which shows the away goals rule really worked if it was to incentivize away sides attacking wouldn't that explain why more away wins and goals
I think they should have a host for the tournament like last seasons Europa League knockout rounds in Germany and Champions League knockout rounds in Portugal. Then there would be half the games. I think they should trial this for one or two seasons just to see if it works.
Not gonna lie. I think this is better. I mean you can't end the game in a deuce score now can you? The only way to settle a tie game is either score more goals or settle it in a penalty. I mean you score the same amount of goals but you lost due to away goal format? I've always hated the rule.
I honestly think scoring more goals is the only fair way to declare the winner - I know this is a bit of a stretch, but IMO penalty shootouts are as unfair as the away goal rule is.
@@ivaneurope not really
@@ivaneurope Christ above, you probably think the old way the MLS took penalties was a good idea 😂
great video
For those who think that this is a good thing BEWARE! I. can remember the time before the away goals rule and dour games where so many teams just defended, when them away goals rule came in it changed everything and away teams attacked far more, the number of goals increased noticeably and the quality of games improved. Yet Another change for change sake!
Did you watch the video?
what's wrong with away teams winning more? that just proves that they're the better team
That's why they removed the away goal rule
Proves they’re the better team by drawing?? ludicrous
When the rule comes into effect, it means the aggregate score is a tie. Which means that on the balance of play, no side played well enough to get the victory. However, one side advances because their goals count double. In most cases, the "better team" doesn't win.
- didn't watch the video
High IQ comment right here
The real home advantage at 0:35
Good vid
Spurs' CL final appearance in 2019 was not their 'first appearance in a major European final'. They won the Cup Winners Cup in the 1960s, the UEFA Cup in 1984 (or '83) and won or appeared in the UEFA Cup Final in the early 1970s, I think.
Nice Video
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I won’t miss away goals 🤷♂️
Agree
Same

Lol barca fan😂
In my entourage, everyone is happy away goals are gone
This is going to kill players, probability of teams playing to a draw is now higher, imagine having to play a domestic cup 3 days after playing an extra time of UEFA second leg quarterfinals. Imagine Liverpool now if Villarreal were to push them to extra time. And then FA cup final against Chelsea that might also go to an extra time and 1 point chase on Man City
is the latest home win ratio only measured for 2021? Could be corona affects it if it is.
3:44 It's Sporting Clube de Portugal not "Sporting Lisbon"
By saying that home advantage doesn’t make a difference then it makes it possible to play some matches as a neutral venues which will eventually mean games in America and China
Away goals gave us Liverpool v Barca, Barca v Roma, Porto v Juve, Chelsea v Barca...
just this decade it gave us so much football drama...scrapping it would make teams play defensively and taking possession, running down the clock, then waiting for shoot outs...most of the managers voted for the scrapping of away goals, are those who lost in it.
They should keep the away goal now the teams with more money will always win, people say oh they will be exhausted, but 1 team will have a bench with players worth 300 million like man city and psg
Why is that a problem? They have more money because they make more money
@@raheem201231 no it doesn't work like that
I like that they did this, now they only need to make the knockout stages 1 match, that’s what makes games truly exciting
So, there is still a home advantage AND most of the stats pulled up are the way that they are because "Away Goals" is currently in the system. The League stats briefly mentioned will also have changed due to the introduction of 3 points for a win. This was brought in to stop away teams being content to defend for a point. So the stats are skewed by the influencing factors that they will be removing (from the cup competitions). The stat changes do more to prove that "Away Goals" works than it does to suggest removing the rule. Also, the video says that the home team league results were reduced but does not say what they were reduced to. We all know that there is still home advantage.
All this is only half the story. The other problem that the away goals rule solves gets the briefest of mentions at the end of the video, which is that this will result in loads more penalty shoot outs. But that is after the home team have had another 30 minutes of extra home advantage time.
Spot on
Idioti
Pretty sure Claude made a cameo @ 01:34
It might seem more fair but in terms of excitement, this is a very bad idea. Away goals created basically the only time in soccer where a goal was the difference between a win and a loss and not just a win and a tie. It’s the same reason basketball baskets are worth 2 instead of just 1. Even before the three point rule, baskets counted for 2 and free throws 1. This created a situation where a team could be down by 1 point with time running out but had the opportunity to win with a 2 point basket. Ask any basketball fan. It’s always way more exciting when someone scores a 2 point buzzer beater with their team down by 1. As opposed to scoring one down by 2 or tied. In the first instance, it’s thedifference between a win and a loss. In the second, the difference between a win and a tie. (Of course I’m basketball there are no ties. They would go to overtime. But the point still stands) It’s similar in American football where there are different point totals for different types of scoring opportunities. In soccer, it’s just one type of scoring opportunity for 1 point. Plus there are ties and a lot of them in soccer. Which makes the situation more boring. Here was the one time a team could be losing, score a late goal, and go from winners to losers with that one score. I for one am sad that is being taken away...
It won't be less exciting because instead teams will play in extra time and penalties, also adding more football game time. You wouldn't say the world cup or euro games are more boring because of this (obviously the play only one match there but the same concept would apply, it just would happen in the second leg of every bout). If anything it would actually mean that teams would have to win the damn game instead of scoring one lucky away goal and just sitting at the back for 90 minutes.
Like imagine Barca play United and the first game they draw 0-0 at Spain and then in the second leg Barca get a lucky goal or a fortunate call at the start of the game and go 1-0 up. What's gonna happen next? Park the bus for 90 minutes, and even if United score it wont matter and they'll lose. But why does Barca deserved to go through on 1-1 in this instance? Because they got an away goal? What about United keeping a clean sheet in Spain, is that not an achievement, is that not in many ways harder to do?
That was just a hypothetical but you see how much this rule also helps the game, it creates more interesting games instead of teams just sitting at the back (which happend a lot) and forces them to attack, gives you more play time in extra time and pens (which also adds intensity) and also is fair, because it means you actually have to beat the other team instead of just tying your way to the next round.
@@De3dSh0t I disagree. Scrapping the away goal will give the team that play in the second home game the advantage if it goes to overtime. There’s no point in playing two games if there’s no away rule. Might as well select a neutral stadium and play 1 match like the world cup. The away goal rule has made some great matches and it’s benefits outweighs all negatives.
I’ve seen the Caraboa cup system and it sucks. Boring af matches and if ties it goes to PK, another advantage to home team. Whereas in the away goal system, the advantage in extra times will balance out if it goes to pk shootout.
@@hc3203 Well there is a a point for playing two games because it gives the fans an opportunity to support each team, and playing one game in a neutral venue each time is just too much work to find the right stadiums each week for each matchup.
I do agree the second team would have the advantage if it goes to extra time and pk, but there ways to balance it. For example let's say United and Chelsea match up in the round of 16, you can say that if Chelsea got more points than United in the group stage then they play the second game at home. Or if it's deeper knockout rounds then whoever scored more goals in the previous round will get the second game at home. This might motivate teams to try and outscore their opponents in each tie to better their chances in the next round, and not settle for small wins. It's just an idea I'm throwing in the air obviously you can put more thought into it and come up with something better.
I just despise this rule because it allows teams to play such negative football and advance to the next round without actually beating their opponents.
@@hc3203 I agree!
If you get rid of away goals might as well have a one off game in neutral stadiums like 19/20 season

I am pro "away goals rule". It was something unique to the champions league. It made the 2nd legs very interesting. Can the statisticians check if more goals are now being scored as compared to the previous editions?
UEFA must have found a way to make more profit from having no away goals.
Yh of course. Higher likelihood of the games going to extra time and penalties, meaning more drama. More drama meaning more cash
@@kaushalravikumar3153 exactly this is the only reason they got rid of away goals rules
I always thought the away goals rule was stupid . Both teams have the advantage in the home game . If a home is scored , so be it , that’s football
the stats show that away goals worked like intended. Yes hometeams score less goals, but away teams score more, and that's why the rule was implemented. A strong hometeam will just sit back away and park the bus and then wait for the homegame, and lets face it, nearly all teams are better at home so nearly all awayteams will not take any riscs at all in the first game.
I understand the argument about extratime and awaygoals counting more, but then again the hometeam have the crowds at their back so they have that advantage. Maybe just do away with extratime and go direct to penalties. (and do not let goals in a penaly shootout count extra) The final is on neutral ground so you could still have extratime in the final.
No need for 9m video...
This rule was a pain for big teams so they got rid of it...
Just like the new UCL format... Everything is changing in order to teams like psg and real can actually win something...
Disgarcefull....

If nothing can separate the teams, then a huge weapons rack should rise up from the center circle. Each player picks his weapon, then the rack goes back down, "Ride Of The Valkyries" is played over the stadium PA system, and both teams go to battle. Last man standing takes the trophy for his team. Let's make it happen.
They should allow more subs in extra time
2:04 How can they compare the older days with 2021, considering they were lesser number of fans in the stadium due to pandemic....
Should bring in golden goal and silver goal. Or some type of rule where the team with most shots on target and corners in extra time wins. That would definitely drive teams to try to win instead of settling to penalties or playing cagey football during extra time.
Away goals added a nice tactical dimension. What’s the point in playing home and away games now.
I personally Prefer teams going through on away goals then winning by penalty shootouts … if nothing else they did get it right off getting Rid off it in extra time … but if the teams stay defensive over both legs or 1 leg each we going to have numerous more penalty shootouts and people will want away goals back if One team wins the champions league on shootouts alone.
Also over a season just watch the players burnout increase if extra times become the norm instead off a occasional thing.
Away goal should be kept , coz 1 , it's more exciting 2 the away team has to travel , you can Liverpool vs CSKA Moscow , why shouldn't Liverpool or CSKA have advantage if they go away and score after travelling such a long distance.
3 , the amount of games players are playing it's cruel to have them play extra half hour , after the match is 1-1 .Half hour might not seem much but playing 90 minute and then 120 and then again 90 min on the weekend , takes tool on the body , that's around 210 min + about 10 minute of added time , that's about 220 minute , almost 4 hours , about 4 km extra running and risk of injury is going to increase
Simply wining the match in the 90mins
The real reason: the clubs with too much money got screwed up by this rule one time too many.
This was a shit move at least the smaller teams stood some sort of chance with the away goal rule
Yeah by going against the most fundamental aspect of football which is scoring more goals than the other team to win.
@@africancoast how? Away goal rule only applies if you've scored as many goals as each other
ruclips.net/video/y4dsEbNpjWU/видео.html
@@someguy4046 Yes because an aggregate result of 3-3 means we HAVE to get rid of away goals
@@bri1085 ... that's exactly my point. It goes against the fundamental rule of football which is that scoring more goals than your opponent = winning. One team going through while scoring the same amount of goals as the other is bollocks
One of the key reasons for more away wins has been missed. That is that the gap between the top and bottom have increased, winning that the top teams beat the bottom and medium teams, and explains the high points totals in the Premier League, the monopolies in some leagues, and the winners of the Champions League being either Real, Barca, or a Premier League team.
So that Ronaldo doesn't cry for being KO by Ajax, Lyon, Porto etc

Just stop watching football if youre gonna spread that unnecessary toxicity
Talk about ROMA, LIVERPOOL
Ok, troll!
This is good.
There will be too much extra time ; which could exhaust physical and psychological pressure on players creating serious fatigue problems for clubs playing in the Europa and Champion League thus creating headache to compete both in the domestic competition and tournament such as the Champion League worst could be Europa where more games are played by clubs...
Bad ideas ...most likely to be reverse ...or overturned!
Wenger already knows
Give me an example of Wenger critising the rule when it worked to his advantage.
Away goals are one of most interesting aspect of the champions league, gives smaller teams more chance. This is just a way for UEFA to make more money by giving bigger teams more chances
Interesting Its going to be very weird for a while especially when realising that it no longer applies I personally thought that the away goal rule was awesome and made it more exciting and players don't want to have to play an extra 30 minutes and possible penalty shoutout with the already congested season
prefer the away goal rule being scrapped
The away goals rule was good for soccer as this would not allow lesser teams to put a bus in front of their goal .
It would have been good if they remove away goals when games go into extra time. Playing away on foreign stadium is hard. It isn't your pitch( not to mention what home teams do to have advantage by messing with the pitch) , fans are tormenting with chants, ball boys are against you, referees get pressured by fans cheering, travel time may exhaust the team, weather can have an impact and etc. like man there are many factors that legitimized away goal rule.
Have people forgotten how Celtic was able to beat prime Messi-Barcelona but then always loose at Camp Nou... ?
Barca Vs PSG
Liverpool Vs Baca
Ajaix Vs Spurs
Juv vs ATM and many unforgettable matches.
We might have never got these matches interesting without away goal rule
As a city fan I’m happy
Using the home win% in 2021 to rationalize the change is a bad idea. With no supporters in the stands home teams advantage plummeted across all the major leagues. I would have liked to see what 2019 and 2020 looked like.
Always thought it was a dumb rule anyway,
I always thought that if they were gonna keep this they might as well make shots outside the box count for two
or better yet bring back the old victorian rules of different points for punting over the crossbar .....sounds just as barmy
Removing it because they feel home advantage no longer applies, yes that's true but only for the past year when stadiums have been empty
pretty sure this organisation knows more than us and knows grounds will no longer be packed anymore uefa has been told this is going to be the norm playing to a green screen
What will help the game, start cracking down on the cheap shots/fouls and embellishment. Faking injuries have gotten way out of hand and also when a team gets a foul they don't like they can't have all 11 players swarming the ref...that is ridiculous! Rugby has a very good handle on that, captains only approach the ref. Offsides needs to go back to benefit of the doubt.
Finally!!! I lot of games were ruined by this, real madrid vs manutd in 2003 ( I mean the preasure on the United's side for having conceiving 3 goals at old trafford truly affected their performances during that match, they were literally like swiming against the current but without that rule the game would have been more entertaining in my opinion, porto against manutd in 2004 aswell, Barcelona vs chelsea in 2009, and all of juventus eliminations since they signed ronaldo against ajax, lyon and now porto (so basically the last good years of football ronaldo had were ruined by this rule) so yeah, its really good to hear this news, its good for football, a lot of teams were benefited by this rule that didn't deserve it... 👏👏👏
*Liverpool fan here. I'm in favour of away goal rule but not in the extra time.*
i remember when 101 facts gave you a shoutout in 2017
I agree Away Goals should not count after extra time, but in 2-leg games, away goals absolutely should count. If, in fair competition, you score more goals away from home, you win, given your opponent has an equal chance to score said away goals.
Obviously with data showing that the away goals rule is too much of an advantage to teams getting drawn at home first, as they had 120 minutes away and only 90 at home. But there has to be a better way than 210 minutes football then penalties in front of one set of supporters - possibly ONE away goal should count if scores are level - as a 2-1 loss on the road followed by a 1-0 home win must have some weight, obviously a team scoring more on travels, but losing, should be applauded more than one that defends. A Penalty shoot-out should be the last resort and not simply after two 90 minute (or 90 & 120 minute) matches. Teams should be penalised for dismissals (& possibly cautions) ahead of a PSO, a PSO with one team down by a man due to dismissal should not be rewarded the penalty that the missing player should take must be classed as a miss - should the competition get that far. however, IF that team is down to 10 men, because of injury (after exhausting the substitutes) should be allowed that penalty attempt, or a player on the other, full team, withdrawn, even if that meant a player taking another (2nd) penalty.
I think scrapping away goals is important, but there might have to be some other mechanism, just not sure what
Bad decision this is the only thing that stopped teams from packing the bus. And was great for small teams and it also brought about beautiful chaos
more extra time and penalties also means more add revenue foe eufa.
Knowing UEFA, it's probably PSG who have asked(negociated) for it to be scrapped.
Wouldn’t see why since them beating Bayern this year was on away goals as they were aggregate 3-3 after both matches
@@Lsxlva They always feel hard done by every single time that they lose or get knocked out, constantly looking for excuses and evoking secret agendas against them.
And it helped them knocked on it Bayern this year?
I think it’s okay make the matches all fair and square just different venues and not the away team being given +1goal every time they score.
Also to those complaining that if it’s a draw on both legs, u do know there is something called EXTRA TIME AND PENALTIES right
@Souven Tudu I mean bruh a simple extra time and penalties can also do
Remove also home and away match at the last 16 just play one game and advance no need first or second leg
I didn't really like the change because in my opinion it takes away excitement of the 2 legs games
Last season, the away goals rule remained in place even for ties like Arsenal-Benfica and Chelsea-Porto where both legs were played on neutral ground and behind closed doors (obvs)😂
Classic Uefa
The away goal rule encourages the away side to attack. That's why the stats changed over the years.
So in theory, the goals will dry now dry up. The away team will try and park the bus and either sit on their first leg advantage, or push for a draw in the first leg of a tie.
This makes no sense to me
It wasn't a surprise really, they spoke about it two years ago.
Good decision
And they should also remove the extra time and only keep the shootout when necessary
great video but Its not Sporting Lisbon is Sporting Portugal
Golden goal rule every kid as said next goal wins while in school . Bring that back just call it next goal wins both teams will attack
Horrible rule. Very, very rarely did teams go for it.
Or both teams defend because they don't want to concede playing for penalties. Why do you think they got rid of it?
I think we will see more away teams playing very defensively in the first leg, but we'll see what happens.
l always hated the away goal rule, and found it completely unnecesary when it was introduced.
Football was great before.
I always hated the away gaol rule its one of the biggest frauds in all of sports in the world
They scrapped it because football has a completely different concept now. Most teams play in modern stadiums. Security has increased. Hosts take good care of their visitors. Trouble making hooligans are no longer welcomed in stadiums. Law abiding citizens who pay for their tickets with their families are showing up instead. It's like going to the movies. So there is no more intimidating atmosphere for the visiting team players. All these factors provide a comfortable environment for the visiting team, so scoring an away goal isn't that hard for them anymore
So the home team gets an advantage because their leg is played second (extra 30 mins potentially). Presumably that will make the fight for top spot in the group tighter
Yes and no. Champions league group stages end in December and resume February. Your form between that period could change massively
@@raheem201231 yeah, but topping the group guarantees you the home second leg in the next round, so it's more important
I personally love the drama the away goals rule can create. I am also willing to endure tactical battles when the threat of conceding them occurs. I’m sad to see it go, but understand the concept of majority vote.
