The European Football Union (UEFA) has identified errors in the first draw of an external software supplier.
She acknowledged the protests of Villarreal, Atlética Madrid and Manchester United and repeated the draw.
In the camp of a record Spanish champion, this provoked a wave of resentment and sharp reactions, according to the daily Marc, words like scandal, deception, shame and unacceptable fell behind the scenes.
However, one of the club’s directors, Emilio Butragueño, only told the media that the draw process was “surprising, regrettable and very difficult to understand.”
Real has not yet announced whether he is planning any retaliation.
According to Marcy, Monday’s scandal only exacerbated the already very tense relations between Real and UEFA, which have been going on since the planned launch of the Super League.
