Champions League Last-16 Re-draw: Man Utd To Now Face Atletico Madrid After Init by dodoisk(m): 6:03am On Dec 14, 2021
A re-draw for the Champions League last 16 has pitted Manchester United against Atletico Madrid after Ralf Rangnick’s side had initially been drawn to face Paris Saint-Germain.

A surprise turn of events saw the initial last-16 draw declared void after what UEFA called a "technical error" involving Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester United, Sky Sports reports.

The re-draw took place three hours later, and Liverpool now face Serie A champions Inter Milan, Chelsea drew Ligue 1 winners Lille - having done so in the first draw as well - while Manchester City will take on Sporting Lisbon.

United looked to have been offered the biggest reprieve after drawing PSG in the initial draw, but a meeting with Atletico in European competition since 1991 will still provide a stern test.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will perhaps feel the most aggrieved by the error - they were drawn against Benfica in the morning but will now face PSG instead.

Elsewhere, Liverpool's reward for becoming the first English side to win all six Champions League group games is a tie with Inter, who won Serie A last season and currently top the table after 17 games.

It was a case of deja vu for defending champions Chelsea, who were drawn against Lille in both the original and rescheduled draw.

City, last season's losing finalists, face Sporting for the first time since the two sides met in the Europa League nine years ago.

Ferguson and Ronaldo have a hand in that....but for me, it would have been easier for Man United to beat PSG than to beat ATM, forget quality of players, in champions league players alone don't win you games but quality of the man in the dugout (coach)...
Compare Ralf Rangnick and Pochettino, one is a tactician, the other is a manager. Ralf has the capacity to capitalize on Pochettino's inexperience in harnessing the best out of his boys if you take a look at how PSG played against City in both legs PSG were more conservative and were lucky to capitalize on their chances unlike City especially in their first meeting. But Man United doesn't play like City especially now they have the maestro of gengen pressing at the dogout, it would have been easier because even City finds it difficult to play Man United.
Coming to ATM Simeoni plays almost a similar pattern with Ralf just that Simeoni is more defensive than attack especially when the ball seems to be in ATM court...it's very tricky going against such team....watch how Real Madrid plays ATM and how Messi's Barcelona plays ATM, you will understand that it's a different ball game, teams that play like Man City, Barcelona, Chelsea, Juventus, Ajax, Porto,PSG, Dortmund, Benfica etc are not problems to Man United compared to teams like Real Madrid, Liverpool, ATM, Sevilla, Inter, Salzburg, Leipzig, Lyon(Though they didn't qualify).

The aforementioned teams like those in Man City group seems to be well organized,they have a pattern which can easily be countered if a good coach approach the game differently unlike those teams in Real Madrid group, they outplay you even with your pattern because on a default they have very quick players who are not after possession but to score you, they approach mainly through the flanks. They're very clinical with good absorption rates.
Cross match each teams from each group so that you get a clearer picture of the type of football match to expect especially with Man United.
