Previously, Arshavin had drawn the game Man United against Villarreal CF (up for discussion). Since this pairing was not possible because the two clubs already met in the group, Villarreal’s opponent was drawn again and the ball said Manchester City. In the subsequent drawing by Atlético Madrid’s opponents, the “Red Devils” were missing from the group winners’ lottery pot. The head of ceremonies even said earlier that Atlético might not face United. A mistake the Spaniards are said to have complained about.
The first legs of the round of 16 in the premier class will be on 15./16. and 22./23. February. The second legs will take place on 8/9. and 15./16. March.
