Why was the away goal abolished?

UEFA decided to get rid of the away goals rule this season over fears it was becoming unfair for certain teams. It also claimed that it had become counter-intuitive from its original purpose. The rule was supposed to encourage away sides to be more attacking, as games were often finishing 0-0 when teams parked the bus.

Champions League ties in full after redraw fiasco

More info The Champions League knockout stages is synonymous with feeling under pressure to score at least one goal away from home. However, this season things are going to feel a lot different for fans, after UEFA decided to bin the away goals rule. European competitions have thrown up some incredible two-legged ties in recent memory. Barcelona's stunning 6-5 win over Paris Saint-Germain in 2017... Tottenham's incredible fightback against Ajax... and even when Spurs knocked Manchester City out of the competition - despite City thinking they'd won the tie in the final minute. What do all of these games have in common? The away goals rule forced teams' hands to try and attack, knowing that they faced elimination.

Now, if a two-legged tie is level on aggregate after both matches, the game will automatically head to extra-time, regardless of away goals. The new rule means fans can expect to see plenty more penalty shootouts in the Champions League knockout phases - something that's relatively uncommon. The last two-legged penalty shootout was in 2016, when Atletico Madrid beat PSV Eindhoven 8-7 in the Round of 16.

Why was the away goals rule scrapped? UEFA decided to get rid of the away goals rule this season over fears it was becoming unfair for certain teams. It also claimed that it had become counter-intuitive from its original purpose. The rule was supposed to encourage away sides to be more attacking, as games were often finishing 0-0 when teams parked the bus. But, now UEFA said that home sides were being more defensive, to avoid conceding a costly away goal.

READ MORE Rio Ferdinand savages two Arsenal first-team stars who are 'worthless' UEFA president Aleksandr Ceferin said: "The away goals rule has been an intrinsic part of UEFA competitions since it was introduced in 1965. "However, the question of its abolition has been debated at various UEFA meetings over the last few years. Although there was no unanimity of views, many coaches, fans and other football stakeholders have questioned its fairness and have expressed a preference for the rule to be abolished. "The impact of the rule now runs counter to its original purpose as, in fact, it now dissuades home teams - especially in first legs - from attacking, because they fear conceding a goal that would give their opponents a crucial advantage. "There is also criticism of the unfairness, especially in extra time, of obliging the home team to score twice when the away team has scored."
