Paris Saint-Germain will face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League last 16 after the draw was redone due to an earlier error. After mistakenly drawing Manchester United against groupmates Villarreal in the first draw (and then failing to replace United when the initial error was corrected) UEFA opted to redo the entire draw.
“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. As a result of this, the draw has been declared void and will be entirely redone at 1500 CET.”
The new draw has paired PSG with Real as the highlight clash. When the Champions League resumes in February you can watch all the matches on Paramount+.

What went wrong?
Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United were drawn together but United were initially drawn to face group opponents Villarreal CF (who they were ineligible to compete against as teams that played each other in the group stage cannot be drawn against each other) before being replaced by rivals City.
Knockout stage dates?
The Champions League quarterfinal, semifinal and final draw will take place on March 18. The last 16, quarterfinal and semifinal draws all lead the teams towards Saint Petersburg’s Gazprom Arena which will host the 2021-22 Champions League on May 28.
