Uefa make mistake in Champions League draw

Follow live coverage with the Champions League draw having to be redone following an extraordinary mistake in the initial ceremony.

Controversy struck when Manchester United were initially drawn to play against Villarreal, yet having already faced the Liga club in the group stages, this was in error. Uefa’s Giorgio Marchetti spotted the mistake and ordered the tie to be re-drawn, with Villarreal ultimately facing Manchester City. But a technical error appeared to subsequently block United from being selected as one of the teams eligible to play the next side drawn out of the hat, Atletico with Uefa now confirming the intial draw void. A second, official ceremony will take place at 2pm GMT.

The 2019 champions Liverpool are among the top seeds alongside three-time winners United, Premier League champions City and defending champions Chelsea. First legs will take place on 15-16 and 22-23 February, before second legs on 8-9 and 15-16 March.
