I think the away goal rule should be abolished simply because its unfair to the team that score same amount of goals compared to their opponents yet got knocked from the competition.

Yesterday night Man Utd was leading Bayern Munich 3-2, (on 4-4 aggregate). it should be a great win for man utd, unfortunately its not.... simply because bayern munich scored more away goals...

When both teams got the same aggregate, the competition should be continued to extra time and then penalty shootout.. just like the competition in world cup..

I think theres a flaw on away goal rule, the "winner" don't really win "fair and square" by scoring more goals then their opponents. No wonder nobody celebrated the 3-2 win, it just doesn't make sense.

What does everyone else think? Should away goals be abolished?

for those who have no idea what away goal rule is, here is link for explanation:

I am not blaming the system... but don't you think drawing on aggregate yet still knocked out from competition a bit not making sense...

it should go into extra time and then penalty shootout... just like most of the competition...
