UEFA further revealed that the away goals rule will not apply in the quarter-final games.
“As was also the case in the round of 16, the away goals rule no longer applies. If the tie is level after 180 minutes, it goes to extra time. If the teams still can’t be separated after an additional 30 minutes, the tie goes to a penalty shoot-out,” UEFA said.
