Champions League Last 16 Draw | City v Sporting Clube de Portugal

BBC Radio 4 at 3pm led with
In the Champions league Liverpool will play Inter Milan.The other English teams will play as follows:
Manchester City will play etc
Chelsea etc
Manchester United will play etc.
I can't see any rhyme or reason for that order. Perhaps an external supplier cocked this one up.United are not allowed to be mentioned last and City should not be mentioned at all.
 
As was explained before the draw they couldn't guarantee the system was functioning correctly from the start so a total redraw was required. It's by far the fairest thing to do(and without reading the guidelines or doing any research whatsoever I imagine it's also written within the rules) any club opposing that is doing so purely out of self interest and making themselves look like dicks. No better way for real Madrid to show their fear than to complain about getting psg.

I disagree as if the correct balls where used in the draw to that point then I think they have a point. Both points can be argued in terms of fairness and if UEFA have made a rule on it prior to this then fair enough but I’m guessing there just winging it.

I’m also unsure how much it was ‘software’ and how much was human error.

That said I have no issue and find it quite funny. I also believe that if there was none of this Super League business then UEFA probably would have bowed down to them and let them keep the fixture and redo the others. Nice of them to get the shit end of the stick for a change.
 
But we can meet premier teams or PSG in the last eight.
It happened with Spurs they knocked us out in the quarter finals.
Can't see why we couldn't play them in the last 16.
It’s an open draw after this round.. unless they’ve changed it again this year

Thats right.
Just think it should be open draw 1st vs 2nd in the last 16 ( excepting team we have played in the groups)
Separating Spanish teams and German teams from each other for just the one round makes no sense when they can play each other in the next round.
