Champions League: a record number of goals scored, has the reform of the away goal changed the situation?
2024-04-19 11:46:37
After qualifying against FC Barcelona (6-4 cumulative score), Paris Saint-Germain healed some wounds a little more. Two of them notably depicted the faces of Marcus Rashford and Demba Ba. Executioners of the capital club in the round of 16 of the Champions League, one with Manchester United in 2019 (0-2, 1-3), the other with Chelsea in 2014 (3-1, 2-0) , the two attackers respectively managed to punish and eliminate Paris in the final moments of their meeting. Without winning on the cumulative score in the double confrontation.
The fault lies with a certain away goal rule published in 1965 by UEFA: goals scored away count double. A point of regulation which largely pushed the home teams in fear of conceding a dramatic goal on their lawn and which, sometimes, tended to close the matches. In 2021, UEFA abolished it, justifying that this rule dissuaded home teams from attacking “because they fear conceding a goal which would give their opponents a crucial advantage”.
The explosion of joy from Demba Ba who qualified Chelsea against PSG in the quarter-finals of the 2013/2014 Champions League. Still, the aggregate score was 3-3.

During a professional baseball game, an umpire was severely punished for making a decision that differed from the automatic pitch award system and tried to cover it up.
The KBO held a closed personnel committee meeting today and announced that it would terminate the contract with referee Lee Min-ho, who was head of the refereeing team at the time.
In addition, umpire Seung-hoon Moon and third base umpire Pyeong-ho Choo were suspended for three months, the longest suspension under the rules, and it was decided that umpire Moon would take additional personnel measures after the suspension period.
During the NC-Samsung game on the 14th, they ruled the strike a ball, against the automatic pitch judging system, and later caused a stir when they were caught on air trying to cover this up by changing their words because and system error.

Lopsided Matchup: New York Rangers vs. Washington Capitals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs
The Rivalry Rekindled: Rangers vs. Capitals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs
By Shayna Goldman, Dom Luszczyszyn and Sean Gentille
After a six-year hiatus, the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals are set to clash once again in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite their recent lack of postseason encounters, this rivalry has not lost any of its intensity. Over the past nine years, these two teams have engaged in plenty of drama on the ice.
The marquee matchup features two formidable opponents: Alex Ovechkin facing off against Chris Kreider. However, there is an additional layer to this rivalry as Peter Laviolette squares off against his former team after coaching the Rangers from 2020 to 2023. Adding fuel to the fire is a showdown between two hot goaltenders in Charlie Lindgren and Igor Shesterkin.
This playoff clash pits the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Rangers against a resilient Capitals team that fought their way back into contention for East’s second wild card spot.
The Odds: A One-Sided Affair?
Unsurprisingly, a s eries between a dominant 114-point team like the Rangers and one with a minus-37 goal differential (the sixth-worst mark in the league) like Washington appears decidedly lopsided.
