Let’s see how it goes this season, but for me away goals rules still the best. There is need for a home team not to concede goals, that make the game more interesting. It also help to reduce waste of strength because there are other competitions these players are playing in. Many matches will be going into extra time like 2:1, 1:0. Again 3:2, 1:0. Etc. it’s a waste of time in the game, also consider teams injury players. So away goal rules really make sense
