The functionary apologized for the poor organization of the draw for the playoffs of the tournament.

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin comments on the incident with two Champions League play-off draws.

" It so happens that we are dependent on the latest technologies, and, perhaps, should try to be less dependent on them.. UEFA apologizes to everyone. Something went wrong with our software.

UEFA immediately contacted our software provider and it was decided to re-draw. All due to the fact that we did not know exactly what the error led to. Our decision was transparent "

Note that during the first draw, Manchester United was paired with Villarreal. According to the rules, teams that met at the group stage cannot meet at once in 1/8.
