If it wasn't Messi v Ronaldo would UEFA do a redraw to get better ties?

Won't be the first cover up by authorities but a real chance here to distance themselves from the corruption of FIFA and have this to point to when their integrity is questioned, just don't see them sacrificing the Messi v RonnieExcatly.
It's televised ffs. No hiding your incompetence.
Man it up and do it again. Nothing hard about it.
Hard luckThe first draw must stand.
If they do a redraw we'll get Bayern.
This was going to be my post but you beat me too it. Only UEFA could reach FIA levels of stupid within 24 hours notice.We really need Christian Horner to tell UEFA how to decide
- Chelsea vs Lille is about to kick off, the players are ready and...what's this there seems to be more players exiting the tunn...Just line up on the night vs PSG with 16 players.
Oh sorry it was just a legit counting error. Never mind eh?
I doubt they really want to face RonaldoAtletico trying everything to get us instead of Bayern.
That would mean another redraw.Would be very pleasing to see a redraw where United get Lille, Liverpool get PSG and Chelsea Real Madrid.
I don't see why they wouldn't redraw? There's not much to gain from being corrupt in this case, if they are indeed being corrupt in this case.They were exposed big time but surely they are too arrogant and corrupt to re draw!
Now that will be a fix as we both won our groups..but hey you never knowThe first draw must stand.
If they do a redraw we'll get Bayern.
Glazers would love that draw of course. Huge money in Messi vs Ronaldo and they’re not particularly bothered who winsTweet

Not even questioning it. They don't care about the integrity of the game at all.
Despite how we've played this season, I doubt there's many teams that actually want to face K.O stage Ronaldo.I doubt they really want to face Ronaldo
If the scriptwriters were any good, they'd have every team demanding a redraw until they draw Man Utd.No wonder Atletico are challenging it, they probably don't fancy themselves vs Bayern but do against United, their style of play would probably beat us.
We got put into the Villarreal pot by mistake, then got left out the Atletico one.Can someone tell me what's happened?? Ta.
Long story short, they played with their balls incorrectly.Can someone tell me what's happened?? Ta.
Bring back Paul the Octopus!Let's not be too hard on them. Uefa only has a couple of hundred millions a year to organize these draws.
Can hardly expect every single one to be perfect.
Do the regulations say "any balls" or "all balls" must be drawn correctly?We really need Christian Horner to tell UEFA how to decide
This will be a beaut. Discussing it at all means they know they've messed it up.“Uefa in discussion as to whether the draw will stand.”
On what grounds can it stand?? So unprofessional in every sense.
“Shucks, we made a mistake during the draw. Oh well that’s life for ya!”
They mistakenly put Utd in the pot to draw Villarreal, despite us playing in the same group as themCan someone tell me what's happened?? Ta.
In the second draw Villarreal came up and they accidentally included us in the list of balls that could be drawn against. We can't play them because we had them in the group stages. The result was Villarreal vs Manchester United but it was instantly discounted and a team was redrawn instead, turning out to be Manchester City. On the next draw it was Atletico and when choosing the possible opponents the organiser said it can't include Manchester United - he meant to say City but the previous draw had confused him so they left United out of the possible pot to be drawn against Atletico which then obviously taints that specific draw and messes the odds for all the following ones.Can someone tell me what's happened?? Ta.
Atletico are every bit as bad as us this seasonAtletico trying everything to get us instead of Bayern.
Yep. If they don’t redraw I want them to justify why. They’ve already done the hard bit.This will be a beaut. Discussing it at all means they know they've messed it up.
IMO they won't admit and try to stand their case but hopefully you are right though just because the way it looks.I don't see why they wouldn't redraw? There's not much to gain from being corrupt in this case, if they are indeed being corrupt in this case.
Just admit it and redraw, every club will agree it's the right thing to do.
Surely the Villarreal ones wrong as well? They must have missed putting the right ball in their drawThey mistakenly put Utd in the pot to draw Villarreal, despite us playing in the same group as them
They drew Villarreal vs Utd, realised their mistake.
They grabbed another ball. Man City. So Villarreal vs City.
They then draw Atletico and put teams in the pot who can face them, but they do not put Utd's ball in there. Mistakenly claiming Utd "have already been drawn"
We then get added to later pots and got PSG. But we were never given the chance to draw Atletico, which changes our odds for other teams dramatically.
