Liverpool's Champions League campaign could have a different dimension next season after UEFA confirmed they have abolished the away goals rule from European competition. On Thursday, the UEFA Executive Committee approved the proposal to scrap the ruling - which was first introduced in 1965 - following the recommendation of the UEFA Club Competitions Committee and the UEFA Women’s Football Committee. Under the new rules, if the aggregate score is level after the second leg, extra time will be played regardless of the number of away goals scored, with penalties then taken if required to separate the teams. Liverpool will discover their Champions League group opponents when the draw is made on August 26.
