Away goals rule abolished: UEFA announces major shake-up of club competitions
" The rule, which had been in place since 1965, was used to determine a winner when teams were level on aggregate after a two-legged match. The team that had scored more goals as the away side were awarded the victory. But from now, this will be replaced by extra-time and penalties."

Tottenham Hotspur progressed to the 2019 final after beating Manchester City and Ajax on away goals before they lost the final to Liverpool.

Clearly this was the last straw and could no longer be tolerated.
If a team like Spurs could progress on Away Goals...twice no less! Then as a rule it must be flawed! Has to be.
