UEFA confirmed that a “clerical error” occurred where Manchester United were mistakenly omitted as potential opponents for Atletico Madrid.
During Monday’s initial draw, United were eventually paired with PSG, having earlier been placed as opponents for Villarreal, who they could not meet having been in the same group as Unai Emery’s side.
INITIAL ROUND-OF-16 DRAW:
Benfica vs. Real Madrid
Villarreal vs. Manchester City
Atletico Madrid vs. Bayern Munich
FC Salzburg vs. Liverpool
Inter Milan vs. Ajax
Sporting CP vs. Juventus
Chelsea vs. Lille
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Manchester United
