[Vasilevskiy]

It will not get removed but I also don't see much sense in away goals if both teams play in neutral venues

For sure. The issue is UEFA is asking LFC to move it to accommodate and help Leipzig out.

If I am LFC, I am not agreeing to that unless they waive away goals. Period. But I’m obviously not in charge.

 

[Evilo]

The last leg is the same as the first leg if both venues are neutral. I don’t know why there should be an advantage for away goals if both venues are neutral why should there be?

That's the whole point. One team earned the right to an advantage by winning its group.

But where is the advantage of both games are on the road in neutral venues?

To have the possiblity of scoring an away goal in the first leg is an advantage for the 2 leg receiving team.

I don’t agree. Respectfully. And that’s okay.

 

[Machinehead]

How many do Leipzig win by?

Over/under 4.5?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Away goals rule shouldn't apply this season. It's so dumb to act like they matter this season when everyone knows they don't.

I think Leipzig and PSG are going through among tomorrow's matches.

 

[Evilo]

I have no idea how people think away goals don't matter.
This is simple understanding.
You're playing away first so the number of goals you score away in that first game changes a lot strategically.
If the away goal rules is gone the home advantage for the seeded team is less important than it should be.

Barca dominate!

It's not a barca win if it isnt rigged. Hoping Uefolana comes though today.

They did last time.

They did last time.

Lets hope for a double dip.

You win with the glory you can right?
I'd rather win with honor.

So I hope the best team wins. Or the least bad rather.

Well in terms of football, yeah, compared to Barca's "remontada".

Paredes starting for psg gives me hope.

Told ya.

Pique's playing.

 

[Evilo]

So Barca has its ideal lineup with Griez (on form) instead of Fati.

Great.
