UEFA have announced they will redraw the Champions League last 16 again after a major software malfunction.
Ralf Rangnick’s Manchester United were pitted against Villarreal, a clear breach of competition rules given they faced each other in the group stage.
La Liga side were then drawn against Manchester City – but it seems the Old Trafford giants’ ball was not put back into the relevant pot, enabling them to be drawn against Atletico Madrid, who were the next team picked out.
After discussions, UEFA have decided to perform the draw again and it will go ahead at 2pm on Monday.
A statement read: "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."
