By that logic all rules are made up and arbitrary. There's obviously context which makes it a compelling rule.
Champions League - Round of 16 - 2nd Legs 5/6/12/13 March
- Thread starter TheGame
- Start date
Also, why is a penalty shoot out a fairer and more logical way of deciding who gets to go through as opposed to who scored more away goals?
seeing Arsenal happy just triggers me. fecking hell
Need to move the ball a lot faster. Gotta up the tempo. Playing into their style again.
Penalty shootout feels more like a skill to me than getting a random fluke goal away from home that suddenly counts double. I get why people like away goals but it was never for me.
That's a pen no?
Away goal advantage rule makes no sense to me. Even one can argue in a two legs match the first leg at home has advantage. If you lick a goal at home, then you can just play like Porto in the 2nd leg. Non stop waste time and then just play on counter.
clear penalty yes
Well it's Barca so of course it isn't given...
Was it called?
Arteta celebrating at the whistle
Away goals are gone, good riddance to them. Certainly cost good United teams the Champions League enough times arbitrarily. Personally I think both games are still interesting and in the balance.
Real Madrid v Man City a few years ago should be a sign it has little to no effect on the entertainment of games. Home teams are way more attacking without the fear of away goals.

Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia have been very disappointing tonight.
don't believe the hype.
I think the referee is a big Arsenal fan, don't know why.
Barca are very effective at the "fall randomly and get a foul" technique
Barca have some real garbage making up their squad
Very soft that
Arteta 
No idea what's wrong with that Arsenal goal
Pepe had his shirt pulled
Finally that jack in a box gets carded.
What the feck haha
Thats freekick for Porto. What do they scream about? Pepes shirt was like a tent.
Turned into avram grant!Arteta
Doing my head in that I can’t get sound on the tnt discovery app for tonight’s football
That was stupid from Havertz. He didn't need to pull him there. Soft, but probably the right decision.
Arteta wasn't bullied enough in school.
I know Arsenal are the lesser of the evils between City and Liverpool but man... Arteta is so fecking unlikeable
Porto offer nothing.
He really is such an absolute tool. Even Arsenal fans must realise itArteta
Watch it again. Its a clear foul.
Great rule brought in recently to stop managers having a go at refs. Giving them yellow cards instead of reds was very innovative.
Arteta is how I imagine Bruno would be a manager some day in terms of touchline behaviour. Loves a good moan.
Ref seems like a right wanker
Lewandowski and Osimhen have been shite
Pepe: 17 reds and 212 yellows in his career
Yellow fur that?? Games gone
No I agree it was a foul, but it was a soft one? Soft as in needless from Havertz and Pepe made the most of it.
It's Pepe, he always deserves to be carded.
