Away goals just seems a bit arbitrary to me. If the aggregate ends in a tie after the second 90, then having extra time in the "better" teams home stadium should be reward enough imo.

What if the second game is played in the "lesser" teams stadium? Should they play a 3rd leg then? Also, UEFA can't go out and say that one team is better than the other. Imagine a semifinal between Barcelona and Real Madrid and it ends 2-2 on aggregate. Who should decide who's the better team? UEFA certainly can't say it.

WELL... I was mostly referring to the American playoff system for determining a champion. Since the "better" team is the one that won more points through the season in league play.
Its obviously a lot trickier for European matches because theres no end of the year tournaments to determine the league champion. I still don't like it being the tie breaker, but I really don't have any better ideas.

Champions league is the play-off for all leagues on the continent to determine who's the best. (Sort of
