Real Madrid Furious over Champions League Re-Draw

Real Madrid Furious over Champions League Re-Draw

​Real Madrid have expressed displeasure and opposed the decision to redo the Champions League draw, calling the situation a ‘scandal’.​

The Champions League last-16 draw from this morning has been declared void and will be entirely redone at 2pm (GMT).

A ‘technical problem’ caused the issues in the original Champions League draw, according to an official statement.

It reads: “Following a technical problem with the software of an external service provider that instructs the officials as to which teams are eligible to play each other, a material error occurred in the draw for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.”

The decision to redo the Champions League last-16 draw has NOT gone down well with Real, who are thought to be furious with the state of affairs.

The Spanish giants aren’t pleased with UEFA as they believe that their draw against Benfica was legal and without any errors.

What’s more, Mario Cortegana says the La Liga leaders consider the redo of the draw a ‘scandal’ given that their tie was done before any mistakes.

He adds: “Madrid have already told UEFA that the decision is inadmissible.”

The errors in the original draw included Manchester United being drawn to Villarreal, even though they were in the same group.

On Monday morning, Manchester United’s ball was put in the draw to face Villarreal, despite the two sides meeting in the group, and was later missed out of the draw with Atletico Madrid.

That led to UEFA being forced to do the draw for the second time, after United had ended up with a tie against Paris Saint-Germain.

As well as screwing up with United, Real Madrid were in the draw with Villarreal, despite them not being able to be drawn together as they’re from the same country.

Liverpool were also added to the Atletico Madrid draw, despite being in the same group as Diego Simeone’s team, adding to the complete farce.
