Abstract

The Union of European Football Associations is currently reviewing the away goals rule during extra time in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. We model extra time as a two-stage contest. Assuming a home-field advantage we analyze the effect of the away goals rule on the competitive balance between teams. Our analysis suggests that the away goals rule levels the competitive imbalance introduced by the home-field advantage in the quarter and semi-finals and that in the round of 16 weaker teams should play first home and then away so that they benefit from the away goals rule during extra time.

加时赛中的竞争平衡与客场进球规则

欧洲足球协会联盟目前正在审查冠军联赛淘汰赛加时赛的客场进球规则。我们将加时赛模拟为两阶段比赛。假设主场优势，我们分析客场进球规则对球队之间竞争平衡的影响。我们的分析表明，客场进球规则消除了四分之一决赛和半决赛中主场优势带来的竞争失衡，在16强赛中，实力较弱的球队应该先打主场，然后打客场，这样他们就可以在加时赛中受益于客场进球规则。
