Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists UEFA were right to redo the Champions League last-16 draw.
UEFA were forced to scrap the initial draw after Manchester United were initially drawn out against Spanish outfit Villarreal, who they faced in the group stage.
Manchester City were instead drawn as Villarreal's opponents, but the mistake was compounded when United were then excluded from Atletico Madrid's possible opponents for the next stage.
City will now face Sporting CP, while United will play Atleti, and Guardiola says the right decision was made.
"It's going to happen again, I think that's fair." said Guardiola before the redraw. "It was a mistake.
"These kinds of things sometimes happen, especially the players and managers, so sometimes UEFA too. We are going to wait.
"Like I always said I am more than satisfied to be a part of that. I think it makes sense [re-draw]. So there are no suspicions.
"All the opponents are tough. Some say one is better than the other but all are difficult."
