According to Wenger, the current rule discourages home teams from playing attacking football in the first leg of a Champions League or Europa League tie.
The Frenchman is currently FIFA’S head of global football development.
He made this suggestion, while speaking ahead of Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat at home to Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
“You play at home by thinking every goal you concede, you are half out.
“Sometimes I feel that this away goal becomes a big handicap when you play your first game at home because you have to attack with keeping a certain security and not giving away too much,” Wenger said on beIN Sports.
The away goals rule has been used to decide two-legged ties in club competitions.
The team that scores more goals “away from home” wins, if the total goals scored by each team are otherwise equal.
