Paris Saint-Germain are re-drawn against Real Madrid in the last 16 of the 2021-22 Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain will face off against Real Madrid in the last 16 of the 2021-22 Champions League after the draw had to be re-done.

Les Parisiens were scheduled to face Manchester United following the original draw, but a technical error on UEFA's part meant that the teams needed to be re-drawn on Monday afternoon.

Confusion arose when Man United were initially drawn to face Villarreal - whom they faced in the group - and the Red Devils were then not included as an option to face Atletico Madrid.

As a result, there will be no Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo in the last-16 stage, with PSG instead doing battle with Los Blancos for a spot in the quarter-finals as Man United face Atletico.

Mauricio Pochettino's men finished second in the rankings in Group A behind Manchester City to advance to the knockout rounds, while Carlo Ancelotti's men placed first in Group D.

Real Madrid were scheduled to face Benfica before the re-draw, and they will travel to the Parc des Princes in February before PSG pay a visit to Madrid in March.
