The Champions League group stage will be redone after a technical error saw Manchester United’s ball left out of the sides eligible to face Atletico Madrid.

Several clubs complained to Uefa, stating that the integrity of the draw had been damaged, and Europe’s football governing body eventually agreed.

A new draw will take place at 2pm, with the previous round of ties, headlined by Manchester United vs PSG, now considered null and void.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United have qualified as group winners which means they will remain seeded and will be at home for the second leg in the next round, while Chelsea finished second after conceding late on against Zenit.
