Liverpool's ball had now not been put within the pot as a listing of opponents and Villarreal later were given Man City. Later on, Atletico Madrid's ball become drawn and Liverpool's ball turned into inexplicably protected whilst the 2 teams were inside the equal institution and Man Utd's ball turned into now not covered.
UEFA have stated it happened "following a technical trouble with the software program of an external carrier issuer that instructs the officers as to which teams are eligible to play every different, a fabric mistakes befell within the draw for the UEFA Champions League Round of sixteen."
