After a farcical draw, PSG will face Real Madrid in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

In a revised draw, Paris Saint-Germain will face Real Madrid in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

After an embarrassed UEFA was forced to replay Monday’s draw due to a “technical error.” Paris Saint-Germain will face Real Madrid. While Liverpool will face Inter Milan in two of the highlight ties in the Champions League’s final 16 stage.

PSG was originally matched with Manchester United. But the modified draw finds them facing Real Madrid. While United will face Atletico Madrid, the Spanish champions. When UEFA stated that the draw for the first knockout round of their flagship competition would have to be repeated. It cited a “material error” caused by a “technical difficulty with the software of an external service provider.”

The flaw was highlighted during the live stream of the draw from UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon. Switzerland, when Manchester United’s name was selected to meet Villarreal, despite the fact that the two clubs could not have faced each other because they were in the same group.

13-time record holder Champions of Real Madrid are unlikely to be pleased with the new draw. Since they were originally scheduled to play Benfica in the first round before the complications arose. A matchup with PSG’s Lionel Messi. Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe appears to be a significantly more difficult match on paper.
