Champions League Done and Redone Entirely After Error By UEFA

 

UEFA blamed a "material error" due to a "technical problem with the software of an external service provider". UEFA has since announced that the draw for the first knockout round of its flagship competition would be redone at 1400 GMT The draw for the last 16 of the Champions League is to be "entirely redone" after a technical  error by European football's governing body (UEFA) said on Monday.
 

So Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo will not happen after all. After errors were committed in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 draw on Monday, the European governing body has voided the results of the first draw and decided to conduct a redraw three hours later. Club sides sides have discovered who they will be facing in the Champions League knockout stages at the second attempt of the draw. UEFA were forced to redo the draw after Manchester United were drawn against Villarreal - who they had faced in the group stage. United were then not in the pot for Atletico Madrid, who had drawn Bayern Munich. Do you think it was right for a respected body like UEFA to have  made such a blunder? Let us know in the comments section. Below is the full round of 16 draw.
