Champions League Redraw: PSG-Real Madrid, Atletico-Man United Highlight Round of 16

UEFA had to do a redraw following a "clerical error" in Monday's initial draw

A “clerical error” from UEFA prompted a Champions League redraw on Monday for the Round of 16.

UEFA admitted that Manchester United had been incorrectly left out as a potential opponent for Atletico Madrid in its original draw earlier in the day. Now, the two clubs will be pinned against one another.

Atletico-Man United is not the only premier matchup on the docket for the Round of 16. Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain will battle his old rival, Real Madrid, reigning UCL champs Chelsea will face Lille and Inter Milan will face Liverpool.

Here is the full, official redraw:

Atletico Madrid vs. Manchester United

Paris Saint-Germain vs. Real Madrid

Chelsea vs. Lille
