Bola.net – Why is there no longer an away goal rule in the Champions League? In fact, this change is one of the biggest changes to the modern UCL format.
Away goals have long been a feature of European competition. A lot of drama arises because of this rule, but the best teams aren’t always so lucky.
One example that is often mentioned is the meeting between Roma and Barcelona in the quarter-finals. Barcelona was in first place at home at that time and won with a big score of 4-1.

This means that the second leg will be easy for Barcelona. Visiting the Olympic Stadium is not difficult. Moreover, at that time Barcelona still had Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Unfortunately, Barcelona actually lost badly, 0-3. Both legs were tied 4-4, but Roma took the lead after stealing an away goal in the first leg.
