Uefa SCRAP Away Goals Rule From 21/22

It also makes extra time more likely, which gives an advantage to the team that gets an extra 30 minutes at home.

Bollox, it makes the away team try to score.

Should have left it as it is

Not always though

Completely agree with this.

In two legged ties, it should be seen as an advantage for a team to have the home leg second. This is why in the CL for example, the team who finished 1st in the group plays a team who finished 2nd in another, and their home leg is always the second leg.

With the away goal rule, I think this advantage was taken away.

For example, in our run to the CL final in 18/19, I was extremely happy to have been drawn against both Man City at home first leg, rather than away first leg.

In both cases, if you reverse the scores that happened, as below, we would have been out:

Man City 0 Tottenham 1
Tottenham 3 Man City 4

Ajax 0 Tottenham 1
Tottenham 2 Ajax 3

In both cases, once we knew that we had restricted City to 0 away goals and Ajax to only one, we knew that we could go away to their places knowing if we scored a couple of goals, they would really be in trouble.

Sorry, that should read:

Ajax 1 Tottenham 0
Tottenham 3 Ajax 2

The away goal rule is part of European football. That tension in the 2nd leg where if you have not scored in the first leg it will come back to bite you. That's what happened to us against Atletico before Covid.

I think it should have stayed. Instead we will have more boring extra time which will lead to pen shootouts

About time they scrapped it.

Why should a team that hasn't been outscored go out of a competition and why should a team that didn't outscore their opponents go through.

A team should only go through if they outscore their opponents whether over 2 legs or in a penalty shoot out.

Wish they'd scrap seedings (favourtism) too

I'd scrap ET too. Just straight to pens after 180 mins.

yup

no need 4 ET

Golden goal
