The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 draw was repeated after errors in the master draw led to those results being voided by the european governing body .
It cited an error in the software that assigns which teams can be drawn against one another : team from the like group or state can not face each other according to official tournament rules.

The problems were noticed when opponents for spanish clubs Villarreal and Atletico Madrid were drawn. First, Manchester United was mistakenly included in the potentiometer to face Villarreal when they played in the same group. Man United ‘s name was actually selected and had to be discarded, with Manchester City being the name out of the pot. That mistake led to another : manchester United was not among the clubs in the potentiometer as a likely adversary for Atletico Madrid when it should have been. UEFA recognized the errors and felt a do-over was necessary :

The draw was repeated three hours later. here are the finalize Round of 16 matchups that will be played beginning in February ( the schedule with dates and times will be published belated in the day ) :

Match Home team – 1st leg   Home team – 2nd leg

The three key details to remember for the Round of 16 draw :

  1. Teams from the same country could not be drawn against one another (see table below);
  2. Teams from the same group could not be drawn against one another (see table above);
  3. The group winners (i.e. seeded teams) will host the second leg of each Round of 16 series. This is perceived to be an advantage because, if an extra-time session or penalty-kick shootout is needed after Leg 2, it would happen on home soil.
