After UEFA deemed the original draw void due to a technical error, Paris St Germain will now lock horns with Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 clash, while Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United will face Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish team was originally assigned to Portugees club Benfica, but will now face PSG's superstar offence of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Neymar.

Only one of the eight matchups was identical in both processes: the defending champion Chelsea against Lille.
