UEFA has voided the Round of 16 draw held earlier after a mix-up with the draw balls for Manchester United, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
Manchester United were not put into the pot of group winners after runners-up Atletico Madrid were drawn, while Liverpool were also mistakenly put into the pot to potentially face Atletico despite playing them in the group stages.
“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.” A statement on UEFA’s website read
The redraw would be done later today.
