Odds on us getting shafted?

Not high, nearly every side we could draw is pretty shit

Is there a reason they cant just completely randomise the draw, are all the rules regarding who plays who due to sponsor / tv deals to maximise viewership or is there other reasons?

I feel a completely random draw would lead to more exciting draws and drama than limiting matches, same as for the group stage but keep seedings. The current method seems to lead to a lot of same teams playing each other every year.

Impossible. There’s not a single club we can draw that gives me a moment’s worry unless we just don’t show up ready and that would be on us.

True, we’re at the stage we shouldn’t be fearing anyone!

I do think the entire draw has to be re-done.

If United's ball isn't incorrectly placed in our pot, it's possible that a different team gets picked out to face Villarreal. Then United were left out of the pot to face Atletico, meaning that Atletico drew Bayern Munich instead. So you end up with City, Villarreal, Atletico, Bayern, United and PSG all being affected. That's enough teams affected by the mistake to justify a complete re-do the draw.

Pathetic

Was the fuck up right at beginning? if not Surely the draw upto the error should stand and re draw from that point.
