But the reason they went to it was because of teams playing super defensive away from home, wasn't it? This will cause more games to be that way - especially in the first leg. It will also increase the number of ties that go to extra time and penalties. And the chance of upsets goes down.

This really seems like fixing something that wasn't really broken.
