The draw for the last-16 of the UEFA Champions League has been redone after a mistake saw the first attempt declared null and void this morning.

The draw was completed for a second time at 2pm and United have now discovered that they will face Atletico Madrid, after initially being pitted up against Paris Saint-Germain.
Manchester City will now face Sporting Lisbon, after initially being tasked with taking on Red Bull Salzburg.

* Villarreal vs Juventus
* Inter Milan vs Liverpool
* PSG vs Real Madrid

Second leg – March 8/9/15/16
The corrected draw for the last-16 of the UEFA Champions League has been made this afternoon, with Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool all discovering who they will face for a second time.
The draw, as planned, took place earlier this morning, but a “technical error” forced the draw into being conducted for a second time, following an error concerning a tie between United and Villarreal. The two clubs were not supposed to be paired against one another after facing each other in the group stages.
The tie was quickly retracted and United went onto draw Paris Saint-Germain. However, United were not put back into the correct bowl, meaning they were denied the chance to possibly face Atletico Madrid.
UEFA, following the error, confirmed that the draw would be conducted for a second time, with it held at 2pm.
