Why Manchester United are better off facing Atletico Madrid than PSG in Champions League last 16
It has been a bizarre week for sporting authorities across the world. Over the weekend, Formula 1 decision-makers came under scrutiny after Max Verstappen won his first-ever world title in Abu Dhabi under controversial circumstances.
On Monday, it was the turn of football to steal the spotlight as it all unfolded on live television during the UEFA Champions League draw in Nyon.
An error in the draw saw Manchester United omitted from possible opponents that could face Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the competition. And while the draw continued, calls for a redraw quickly gained weight after footage of the said error went viral.
UEFA later released a statement confirming a redraw and attributing what happened to a "technical problem." Manchester United were pitted against PSG in the initial draw but were paired with Atletico Madrid after the redraw.
