LAST 16 DRAW
The second, and correct Champions League draw!
First leg – February 15/16/22/23
Second leg – March 8/9/15/16
GOOD MORNING EURO FANS
The Champions League last 16 fixtures had to be REDRAWN after an almighty balls-up by Uefa.
Uefa chiefs had to pick the eight clashes again after Manchester United were denied the chance to play Atletico Madrid.
Instead they were drawn against Paris Saint-Germain, setting the stage for a blockbuster clash between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
But it was back to the drawing board after Man United's ball appeared to be left out of the pot in the draw to face Atletico.
After a second go, the Champions League last 16 turned out like this:
- Salzburg vs Bayern Munich
- Sporting Lisbon vs Man City
- Benfica vs Ajax
- Chelsea vs Lille
- Atletico Madrid vs Man Utd
- Villarreal vs Juventus
- Inter Milan vs Liverpool
- PSG VS Real Madrid
THAT'S INTERTAINMENT
Liverpool thought they were already in the quarters when they picked up Red Bull Salzburg.
But they will now face Italian champions Inter Milan in the next stage.
Yet with Mo Salah on board, Liverpool will still be favourites in the tie.
CITY SLICKERS
Man City got a rather good tie in the first draw after being set against Villarreal.
However, Pep Guardiola ended up doing even better by getting Sporting Lisbon on the second go.
And City are now the favourites to win their first-ever Champions League title.
UNITED IN ARMS
Man Utd will be breathing a sigh of relief.
They were drawn against Paris Saint-Germain in the initial round.
And the Red Devils ended up getting a slightly better draw against Atletico Madrid in the second pairings.
LIVE A LILLE
Chelsea got pot luck as they drew Lille TWICE today.
The Blues were thanking their lucky stars after avoiding Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the first draw.
But somehow Chelsea were kept apart from the Euro giants AGAIN when bungling Uefa chiefs were forced to redo the draw.
BALLS UP
The Champions League last-16 draw had to be done again on Monday after Uefa made an almighty mess of it.
But it's not the first time a draw for a cup competition has gone completely wrong.
RUD AWAKENING
Antonio Rudiger was hilariously forced to backtrack after trolling Chelsea's Twitter admin over the calamitous Champions League draw.
The reigning champions drew Lille in the first attempt, leaving the Blues Twitter to post the news.
But an error in the initial draw meant Uefa had to do it all over again, leaving Rudiger to post a 'delete' GIF in response to Chelsea's tweet.
In a remarkable coincidence, the Blues drew Lille AGAIN, and the German then backtracked and tweeted: "okok,... sorry admin."
Chelsea's admin got their own back, as they replied to Rudiger with a picture of the centre-back cupping his ears.
GOING POTTY
Another Uefa draw was hit by technical errors on Monday after the Champions League farce.
The Europa Conference League draw was held up while Uefa's computers took their time to update.
Uefa deputy secretary Giorgio Marchetti apologised for the delay before, after a few minutes, Bodo/Glimt's name appeared.
While the delay was embarrassing, Uefa will be relieved that the technical problems didn't cause as much mayhem as seen in the Champions League draw.
OW DEAR
Michael Owen expected a THIRD Champions League draw as he wrongly believed Liverpool were mistakenly prevented from getting the chance to play Villarreal.
The ex-Man Utd star said: "I thought it was (wrong again).
"It could easily be me but I can't think of a reason why Liverpool, at the end it says they (Villarreal) can only play one team.
"And I'm sure Liverpool could have played them as well. They weren't in their group.
"The only way is if none of the other teams could have played the other two teams, then Liverpool had to."
BACK TO DRAWING BOARD
This is moment bungling Uefa chiefs messed up the Champions League last 16 draw.
Man Utd and Villarreal were paired together - despite being in the same group.
New balls, please...

UEFA GAFFE
Uefa have been slated after botching today's Champions League last-16 draw.
One fan joked: "I'm moving to the Super League. Adios."
While another noted: "Why are Arsenal fans commenting on European Competitions?"
A third quipped: "Software? Literally just a dude manually putting out the balls."
FANDEMIC
Fans were left fuming after being hit in the pocket by Uefa's decision to conduct a re-draw this afternoon.
That’s because many had already booked flights following the initial pairings on Monday morning.
A Real Madrid supporter moaned: "I already booked my ticket to Lisbon, pay me back with damages."
While a Man United fan protested: "I cant believe it, me and my friends have booked tickets to paris due to the Champions league draw, and now you are telling me I wasted £150 on flights and hotels due to the corrupt uefa.”
DE GEA COMEBACK
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is set for a return to his former home as well.
De Gea will be facing his ex-club Atletico Madrid in the Champions League's Last 16.
The Spain international graduated from Atletico's academy and was called up to the senior squad in 2009.
The 31-year-old was then signed by United two years later
RAMOS RETURNS
Sergio Ramos is set to return to the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League!
But Ramos won't be donning the Real shirt, neither will he be wearing the captain's armband.
Instead, the centre-back will be coming back as a Paris Saint Germain player and an opponent for the first time since 2005 when he played for Sevilla.
That is if the 35-year-old isn't facing any fitness problems and he actually makes Mauricio Pochettino's squad
REAL RAGE
Real Madrid were unhappy with the decision to redraw, claiming that the error occurred after they had already been redrawn against Benfica.
At least they've been given a favourable tie this time.
Oh, sorry.

PANIC STATIONS!
Michael Owen on BT Sport just now spotted what he thought was another blunder.
Villarreal were not given the option of facing Liverpool and nobody was fully sure why. Surely not another balls up?
It was later clarified that Villarreal and Inter Milan could not play Real Madrid and Juventus because of group mixes and country mixes.
Think Michael got that wrong and we can breathe a sigh of relief.
FOR BETTER FOR WORSE
All in all, not a huge deal changed for the English teams.
Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea will still be fairly happy with their draws.
Man Utd still have a tough draw. But this time they have Atletico Madrid and not PSG.
ONE MORE TIME FOR LUCK?
I've really enjoyed both draws, shall we do it again?
Joking, of course.
