UEFA Champions League: Messi vs Ronaldo cancelled; PSG to face Real Madrid, Man Utd vs Atletico Madrid

Following the blunder that occurred earlier in the Champions League draw that was conducted, a new draw has been redone and it now means there will be no Cristiano Ronaldo versus Lionel Messi clash in the round of 16.

The re-draw now pairs Manchester United with Atletico Madrid while Paris Saint-Germain will face off Real Madrid.

Liverpool have been drawn against Serie A champions Inter Milan.

The new draw is as follows;

RB Salzburg vs Bayern Munich

Sporting CP vs Manchester City

Benfica vs Ajax

Chelsea vs LOSC Lille

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United

Villarreal vs Juventus

Inter Milan vs Liverpool

PSG vs Real Madrid

FIRST REPORTS reports that the first draw was voided after a number of mistakes brought into question the integrity of the initial fixtures.

UEFA had confirmed the redraw, saying: “Following a technical problem with the software of an external service provider that instructs the officials as to which teams are eligible to play each other, a material error occurred in the draw for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

“As a result of this, the draw has been declared void and will be entirely redone at 1500 CET (2pm UK).”
