(CNN Español) – UEFA, the governing body of European football, has confirmed that the Champions League round on Monday will be repeated after a 16-draw technical error.
The draw in Nyon (Switzerland) had some technical issues because Manchester United initially mistakenly paired with Villarreal because both teams had shared a team in the previous round and could not meet.
Apparently United did not re-enter the hype for the next game, but the draw continued as usual.
UEFA announced the initial draw as a vacancy and the new draw is expected to take place on Monday.
“Following a technical glitch in the external service provider’s software instructing officials on which teams are eligible to play against each other, there was a material error in the draw for UEFA’s Champions League knockout stages,” read the UEFA report.
“As a result, the draw was declared invalid and will be fully renewed at 1500 CET.”
The opening draw led to an exciting draw between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain in which Cristiano Ronaldo will resume his match with Lionel Messi.
