Real Madrid had to face Benfica in the first instance, but after the repetition of the draw they will face PSG.
Emilio Butragueño, Director of Institutional Relations of the Real Madrid, considers “surprising, regrettable and very difficult to understand what happened today” with the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, which was repeated after an error occurred on the first attempt.
The toss had to be repeated after the ball from the Manchester United was not among the hypothetical rivals of the Atlético de Madrid and yes the Liverpool, whom they had faced in the group stage. Before there was even a pairing that could not occur between the Manchester City and the Villarreal after United left.
Al Real Madrid he was lucky in the first draw on Benfica (in fact it was the initial pairing that was known), but after the repetition it will finally be measured at Paris Saint Germain.
Apart from his opinion about what happened, Butragueño assured the club’s official television that from Real Madrid they face the tie against the Parisian team “with all the illusion, aware of what this competition means”For the club and the fans, as well as“ also about the difficulties caused by the rival and the category of players he has ”.
“But with the confidence that the team will play two great games, two games that are sure to be great for football and fans,” said Butragueño, who showed his “hope” in “be in the draw for rooms”. (D)
