As much as I don't like Pep and his club, it feels like they were hard done. I never liked the one goal away-goal rule, but its complete removal seems like the other end of things.
Feels like a two+ away goal advantage might be a more fair way of doing things, and if a two-legged match is still tied at the beginning of AET, goals scored in AET shouldnt count toward away goals.
So say 3-3 and 1-1 are the two games of the two-legged tie, the team scoring 3 away goals in the first match wins, no AET needed.
But if it were 3-3 and 2-2, game goes to AET and no away goal rule applies.

Technically only 0:1
Man Sheikhy lost to European Royalty, not to a 50+1 club.
