Statistic mumbo jumbo?

Remember though mate that Chelsea did have the same benefit for the first match at Barce so it is fair.

I have no problem with the away goal as a way of separating teams in the event of a draw in European matches, its not even that complicated either, its not like it was a surprise to Chelsea they went out on the away goals rule, they ran that risk after not scoring in the first match.
