NEW CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST-16 DRAW
Red Bull Salzbarg v Bayern Munich
Sporting Lisbon Manchester City
Benfica v Ajaz
Chelsea v Lille
Atletico Madrid v Manchester United
Villarreal v Juventus
Inter Milan v Liverpool
PSG v Real Madrid
Why was it redrawn?
In the original draw, Manchester United's ball was pulled out of the pot against Villarreal but they were ineligible to face each other as they had been in the same group - an eventuality UEFA said the technology should have prevented.
Last season's Europa League winners Villarreal were instead paired with Premier League champions City.
Further confusion appeared to occur when United were excluded from the pot of possible opponents for Atletico Madrid, and Liverpool included instead..

However, United could have played the Spanish side and Liverpool could not having progressed into the knockout stage from the same group.
