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.
