But will the clash be impacted by the number of away goals scored?

In the past, the away-goals rule has been applied in situations where two-legged European ties have ended in an aggregate draw, with the team who scored the higher tally in their away fixture advancing through to the next round.

In the event that this criteria still didn't separate the sides, then extra-time and, if necessary, penalties would be used to decide the winner.

However, UEFA made the decision to abolish the rule at the start of the 2021/22 season, meaning away goals on their own are no longer a defining element in any of their competitions, including the Europa League.
