If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

Anyway, away goals are kind of a weird rule if you think about it.

I like the away goals rule. It adds extra drama to the ties and gives an interesting risk/reward problem for the teams to tackle.

I feel like this is it. Who out there is really saying the last 16, Quarters and Semis are bad?

I think it's fine. But it should be removed if the tie goes to extra time.

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

Away goals is a key component of extra time though. You offset the benefit of playing an extra half hour in front of your own fans with the challenge of scoring away from home. There's been some great games over the last few years thanks to away goals, Liverpool being involved in a fair few, and I'd much prefer going out thanks to one then watching teams go away from home and park 11 men behind the ball and get out with a 0-0.

United definitely won't be winning the Premier League and probably won't win the Champions League but it'd be pretty freaking cool if they did.

I mean, if both City and Liverpool found a way to only get 21 points over the next 11 and 12 games respectively, it would be pretty dang funny.

Doesn't Alves play in the midfield every so often for PSG?

It does seem like a decent shout that there is a red at some point, given the way the ref is liberally giving them out.
