The crosses of eighth Benfica - Madrid, Atlético - Bayern, Villarreal - City and Messi - Cristiano
The
draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League
left eight very interesting heats on the pitch and several
errors
in the organization that have angered journalists and spectators a lot. The
English press
has exploded after the gala and especially after seeing
Manchester United
face
PSG
of
Messi, Neymar and Mbappé
.
The problems started right from the start.
After crossing
Benfica
and
Real Madrid
without apparent problems, the 'innocent hands' of the draw matched
Villarreal and Manchester United
, who in theory could not play against each other because they had already shared a group in the first phase.
"
No, that is not possible,
" they pointed out from the organization.
And, without major reactions, they went on to take another ball, that of
Manchester City
.
In social networks, many fans were already complaining about this error, ensuring that
UEFA
should have started the draw again or, at least, have verified that the rest of the balls were correct.
But the errors did not end there. Spectators are complaining that during
Atlético de Madrid's turn
, the organizers did not include the
Manchester United
ball
in the shortlist of possible rivals. The rojiblancos, you know, were paired with the complicated
Bayern
and the 'red devils' will face
PSG
. In this video you can see how those responsible for the draw did not take any ball from United's ballot box, the second starting from the right, which
should have been one of the possible confrontations
of Simeone's men as they did not share a group.
"Will
this draw be allowed
? They have excluded
Manchester United
from Atlético's rivals. It has to be repeated," claims the '
Daily Mail
'.
"The spectators are convinced that
the draw is rigged,
" says '
The Sun
'.
