I disagree it makes no sense. You play both away and home, shouldn't matter where you score your hard earned goals. You show how good you are by defending your goal in two games, now both were equally good in that regard but no extra time played because of stupid rule. Just keep it simple, goal = goal.

Another subject, what are we thinking about City's chances? Is David Silva able to play?

Why not the other team has the home advantage, the rule is fine as it is, it punishes complacent play and rewards performance across both legs as opposed to one. In the past you had teams that played ultra dull in the away leg and bank it all on home perfomances to force extra time and all, it hurt the game so the competition responded by not only making every goal count but by also taking head to head performance into count.

It's only a problem if you can't be consistent across 2 legs, I know some people are salty over the result but as the rule goes it's perfectly fine.

Definitely not salty! I want Atletico to win the cup so the rule has benefited my fav team more than any other team at this point. Still hoping UEFA would rethink it in the future.
