Difficult to accept for Real Madrid

Without a doubt the champion tie of the last-16, PSG are done playing Manchester United, as in the principal draw, yet Real Madrid.

You need to feel for Madrid here, having been drawn against Benfica first time round.

Curiously, Joe Cole says he figures PSG will deal with Los Blancos 'easily'.

14:24

In this way, Atletico Madrid play Manchester United

What an outcome this has ended up being. Atletico Madrid were irate later Manchester United were erroneously avoided with regard to their potential rivals in the principal draw, rather taking on Bayern Munich.

Presently, they face Ralf Rangnick's United side. They'll presumably be content with that, you need to say.

Affirmation of the draw result

A speedy clarification

Disarray kept away from. There were question marks raised as UEFA said Liverpool couldn't play Villarreal...

However, this time, it's valid. Liverpool couldn't play Villarreal as it would have implied Inter Milan meeting either Real Madrid (same gathering) or Juventus (same country).

14:18

No, generally fine... we think

No, great overall. I believe we are in general pretty much fine here. Everybody's somewhat anxious...

14:00

Joe Cole yearning for Chelsea versus Lille

Assuming anybody's baffled by the voided draw, it's Joe Cole. The previous midfielder played for both Chelsea and Lille, who were drawn against one another at first.

He's expecting the equivalent once more... in any case, we'll see. In the mean time, Michael Owen accepts Manchester United have away with one, having stayed away from PSG.

13:55

FIVE MINUTES OUT

We go once more. Only five minutes stay until the draw is made again.

Will we see Ronaldo and Messi drawn together once more? How about we discover..

The victors and washouts as the principal draw was voided

As we presently all know, the underlying Champions League last-16 draw has been voided - and most would agree, some will be more joyful than others.

One group who will be especially satisfied is Atletico Madrid, who were matched facing German force to be reckoned with Bayern Munich - not a last-16 tie anybody would need.

Lille will likewise be glad, having been drawn against last season's heroes Chelsea, while Manchester United may very well be satisfied to stay away from Paris Saint-Germain.

Concerning Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City, who drew Benfica, RB Salzburg and Villarreal separately, they may not be as cheerful.
