At 10:00 p.m. Beijing time on December 13, UEFA re-selected the draw for the Champions League round of 16. Among them, Messi's big Paris is still unlucky, and this time they met Real Madrid. And C Ronaldo's Manchester United, this time it is the encounter with Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, who met Red Bull in the first draw, met Serie A champions Inter in the second draw.
2 hours ago, UEFA drew for the round of 16 of this season's Champions League. Due to technical reasons, there was a loophole in the first draw, which led to a change in the results. Atletico, who met Bayern in the first draw, was the first to express their dissatisfaction and said they wanted to start over. Under pressure, UEFA rarely conducted two Champions League draws in one night.
The draw is back, but the situation hasn't changed much before. The teams that have finished first in the group are still the seeded teams in this round of 16 draw, including Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United from the Premier League, Real Madrid in La Liga, Bayern in the Bundesliga, Juve in Serie A, Lille in Ligue 1 and Ajax in the Dutch League.
As for the second-placed team in the group, they are the unseeded teams in this draw, including Chelsea in the Premier League, Paris in Ligue 1, Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Villarreal, Inter in Serie A, Portugal Sport in the Portuguese Premier League, Benfica and Red Bull Salzburg from Austria.
In the round of 16 draw, the seeded team gained the advantage of going first and then the main player. But this season's Champions League fixtures have been reformed, eliminating away goals, which has left the qualifying result full of suspense. As in previous competitions, the round of 16 draw is based on the principle of not meeting in the same group and the same country. In the draw that took place earlier, it was Manchester United who encountered Villarreal's mistake that led to a reversal.
In the second draw, Bayern were the first seeded team to be drawn, and they ran into the big gift package Salzburg Red Bull, who made it to the knockout round of the Champions League for the first time. Manchester City and Chelsea then continued their good fortune, drawing the relatively weak Portuguese sport and Lille. Manchester United drew Atletico and Cristiano Ronaldo met Simeone again. And Messi belongs to the big Paris, luck is still unlucky, met Real Madrid from La Liga.
The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 will be played on February 16-17 and 23-24, while the second leg will be played on March 9-10 and 16-17.
