Me too. Can't explain why logically, but it makes for some cool scenarios. 

I don't get the "it's not fair" argument.  Logically makes sense and everyone knows the rules going in.  Prefer it as a first tiebreaker to ET and PKs.

Yeah, what's the purpose of getting rid of it? Was a great tiebreaker.

PSG v. Real Madrid is on big CBS today. The network station. That’s huge. 

Yeah I was flipping through and was like "wow". 

PSG with sone nice link up play early. I'd be shocked if Real made it through.

it's been 90% PSG possession. Just a matter of time.

PSG-RM was a snoozer first half. I miss do everything Messi. This seems like semi-retired Messi. 

Semi-retired Messi doesn’t seem like he gives a shit playing for this fake, plastic club.

Messi has never had a good average (compared to other top scorers) when taking PKs. The play-by-play guy was so ready to go down on Messi and I was thinking "He's actually not that great at PKs.", but didn't post it.

Was a stupid challenge by Carvajal on a ball that was already going out of bounds, so maybe the gods thought that putting Messi at the spot would make up for the ball going out.

And shortly afterwards, Messi steals the ball from his teammate, who was going to blast the ball on frame.

Odd decision by Messi, but I think that now he's pressing due to having fucked the PK.

Jesus, what a way to finish. Mbappé so fun to watch.

•you lose at home 2-1

•you're down by one goal

•second leg you score first to go up 1-0

tied up, right? nope, you're still down by one goal. you still need to score again to win. that's dumb.

Who is the hostess today replacing Kate Abdo on the panel?

Fairly easy on the eyes as well.

(Can't see her body, but cute face & hair... which is important when discussing fútbol.)

Going into the second leg, you know you're down two away goals and need that many to advance.  If you don't know that, then you're dumb.

Scoring and winning on the road is more difficult than scoring and winning at home.  Seems reasonable to reward that.

but it doesn't seem reasonable to call it a draw when both teams score the same amount of goals?

And how would you propose they break said tie?

Sure, in a season series who really cares.  In two games where on team is advancing you have to come up with a method to differentiate.

Pretty sure a game that goes to PKs, ends in a tie and that's the method to determine who advances.  

 

When you have ET/PKs involved, you often see a lesser team park the bus, playing to get to PKs as the game goes on.  When you have away goals, there is an incentive for the away team to press for a goal, unlike what you saw RM do today.

All methods have their plusses and minuses, but the away goal makes sense to me.
