A mistake resulted in the initial ties being ruled null and invalid
, the draw for the final 16 had to be redone
. Per UEFFA on its website, “Following a technical problem
 with the software of an external service provider
 that instructs the officials as to which teams are eligible to play each other
, a material error
 occurred in the draw for the UEFA Champions League round of 16”. This came after a complaint from Atletico. 
After the ties had to be redrawn, PSG will meet Real Madrid in the 2021-22 Champions League round of 16, with Messi facing his longtime rival team
. Manchester United, who were previously scheduled to play PSG, will instead face Atletico Madrid, while Manchester City will face Sporting CP and Liverpool will face Inter.

The first legs
 of heavyweight European encounters will take place on February 15/16/22/23 in 2022.
