The draw in the Champions League was repeated after the disputed situation with Manchester United. Namely during the withdrawal of Villarreal, Andrei Arshavin chose Manchester United as an opponent of the Spanish club, after previously instead of the “red devils” to be in the drum for the duel against Atletico, there was Liverpool, a team with which the “mattresses” were in the group.
All this culminated with the meeting of PSG and Manchester United, ie Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, in the first knockout phase. UEFA issued an official statement saying that due to problems with the information software that was addressed to the people in charge of the foal, it will have to be repeated.
