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

[MCFC1993]

I still don't know exactly what happened. I've seen the bit where they draw Man Utd by mistake and then draw us. How was that not the end of it? Why were Man Utd then not included in the draw for Atletico?

They drew United out by mistake for Villarreal.

Then the Atletico draw was next and they included Liverpool by mistake but didn't put United in the pot as a potential opponent.

That then has a knock on effect for every draw after.

I watched the first one live on the UEFA app

It's on the UEFA app again

Who was pulling the balls out?

Andrei Arshavin was drawing them. Don't know who it was that was putting them into the bowl for him to draw though. That was the person who didn't do their job properly.

What's the betting we draw Atletico, with the second leg away. Summat stinks. :-| View attachment 31696

It would definitely be redrawn again if that happened

Now... PSG or Bayern

City can't draw either

 

[hateutd]

We cannot get PSG or Bayern so think again. We will get Atletico Madrid most likely.

You re right....

It's the right phrase in this context.

There was a big sporting event yesterday where the authorities didn't reverse a decision made and it damaged the integrity.

This is the right call.

Them fucking it up in the first place is the problem.

Putting UEFA and integrity in the same sentence is the problem .

That sounds a bit like 'following a problem with a dummy bomb hidden by an external service provider (which our own security team failed to locate) who instruct our officials how to draw the ties we want....'

 

[Blue Llama]

Don't think any of the group winners will be bothered by this but the second tier ones with easy draws will be worrying

Putting UEFA and integrity in the same sentence is the problem .

Granted thats a fair point.

They actually made the right call here though.
