UEFA cancel UCL R16 draw due to an error
Atletico Madrid cause UEFA to redo UCL R16 draw
Redraw will take place 14:00 GMT
Union of European Football Association(UEFA) has suffered a backlash after voiding the round 16 draw of the Champions League.
UEFA in a statement released via their Twitter page announced that ‘technical problem’ caused the blunder and therefore draw which was done earlier on Monday, December 13, 2021, will be redone.
The mistake occurred when Manchester United’s ball was omitted from possible opponent Atletico Madrid will face. But rather their Group B opponent was in the pot which should not be the case.
Eventually, Atletico were drawn against Bayern with Manchester United being paired against Paris Saint-German.
The redraw is set at 14:00 GMT
Follow the error, which UEFA claim is due to technical problem, football fans on social media.

Imagine a football organiser so incompetent that it can screw up the most basic of draws. That’s @UEFA. https://t.co/UYIdrT349w

At least now we know UEFA would be way too incompetent to actually rig an entire draw.

City fans have been saying for years how corrupt UEFA are. It’s why we boo the CL anthem. United fans are crying ‘Fix’ now, after years of calling us conspiracy theorists. Get it down you.

UEFA not even trying to cover up that they wanted a Ronaldo Messi draw. That Villarreal error gave it all away. So corrupt!

It’s not like we fear PSG. Never. We beat them before at this stage and will beat them again. But we want Free and Fair draw devoid of any rigging.
United exposed corrupt UEFA

UEFA had one task, and they got it horribly wrong. What a filthy, corrupt and incompetent organisation. Three errors!!

UEFA is the most corrupt institution. They are just after the money and nothing else. They want Ronaldo Vrs Messi match. Goat Vrs Goat debates.
This game will generate more money to them even more than final. Corrupt association #UCLdraw— EvAnS Ne-Yo???? (@Evans_NeYo) December 13, 2021
It’s so clear to see that UEFA are so desperate for another Ronaldo vs Messi fixture they had to draw Man Utd vs PSG by all means.
We were all against the Super League but make no mistake about it, UEFA/FIFA are the most corrupt people in football.

UEFA is corrupt. Our draw was 100% rigged to ensure we got PSG so that they could benefit from Ronaldo vs Messi
Absolute joke of a draw

Uefa is a corrupt body because this doesn’t make sense. How can Manchester United and PSG with the goats meet in the Round of 16??

Moving forward I don’t believe #UEFA should be in charge of the draw or they show all the teams going into each pot before they pick them out.
Today they slipped up and they know it so they going have to change thier methods because nobody will trust it next time.#UCLdraw
