UEFA 'plotting major revamp' of away goals rule in Champions League and Europa League next season 'with advantage to be wiped out should the second leg go to extra time' – and the proposals are being backed by clubs

UEFA are reportedly ready to change the away goals rule in the Champions League and Europa League for next season.

Under the new regulations, which are set to be agreed on Friday, away goals will only count up until the end of the 90 minutes of the second leg. If the tie then goes to extra-time, then the away goals rule will no longer count.

This is according to The Sun, who claim that the new proposals are being backed by Europe's top clubs with Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano both on board with the rule change.
