The drawing ceremony begins at 6:00 p.m., Hanoi time.

Marchetti’s task is to pick the second-place teams in turn, and then name the group-winning teams that qualify to meet the second-place team.

Pictures from the first draw.

UEFA’s first mistake was that Heselschwerdt put Man Utd’s ball into the basket to meet Villarreal, then Arshavin picked Man Utd.

The second mistake was that Heselschwerdt put Liverpool in the basket that could meet Atletico Madrid, even though these two teams were in the same group.

The third mistake is that Man Utd was not included in the basket that could meet Atletico, even though these two teams were eligible to meet.

Initial draw results (cancelled): Benfica – Real Madrid, Villarreal – Man City, Atletico – Bayern, Salzburg – Liverpool, Inter – Ajax, Sporting Lisbon – Juventus, Chelsea – Lille, PSG – Man Utd.

Video of the first draw where UEFA made a mistake.

Immediately after UEFA finished drawing, a few clubs complained.

After nearly an hour of discussion, UEFA decided to redraw at 9:00 p.m. the same day.

UEFA explained that the error came from a software company they hired to conduct the draw.

At 9:00 p.m., Marchetti explained the mistake, and re-loaded with the same staff.

Final draw results: Salzburg – Bayern, Sporting Lisbon – Man City, Benfica – Ajax, Chelsea – Lille, Atletico – Man Utd, Villarreal – Juventus, Inter – Liverpool, PSG – Real Madrid.
