It's not far more exciting though, no matter which path you choose it changes how each game works. No away goals means first legs will now be more wide open because playing for a clean sheet doesn't matter anymore. Might make the second leg less exciting though. But it's simply more fair, which is all that should matter. Away goals made sense when travelling away was a lot more onerous than simply jumping on a charter the day before and flying back a couple hours after the match ends.'

Like under the current model you are significantly better off as the home team with a 0-0 in the first leg then a 3-3, even though they are on a result basis the exact same thing. The one thing it does open up is more penalties, but there is no perfect system so you gotta deal with an imperfect system no matter.
