    Real Madrid

    - probably 6 of those (on paper at least) are what we'd expect, right?
    Juventus aren't doing brilliantly at the moment, so that could go either way imo

    Yeah that's true.

    I keep having to remind myself that the away goals rule isn't a thing this season.

    They're fucking dicks at UEFA, the away goal was brilliant, it did need adjusting because they still counted away goals after 90 minutes of second legs when both legs had finished at the same score after 90 minutes and that was always 100% wrong and unfair as in the games that happened, both sides had at that point had equal opportunity and time to score away goals that would count double, so away goals scored after full time in the second leg should not have counted as they did, not ever

    You won't hear me disagree with that Nineteen - away goals rule was my favourite component of my favourite football to watch.

    Let's hope the lack of it makes for unexpected upsides.

    Agree 19, away goals was a good rule with the exception of extra time, when it should not have been used. Always thought that since watching football as a kid.
