Real Madrid great Casillas: Champions League draw had to be re-held

Real Madrid great Iker Casillas says it was right to hold the Champions League draw again.

Casillas, on the Champions League draw, believes European football's governing body eventually made the right decision to redo the procedure after an error was spotted the first time around.

"[The draw] was repeated because something did not go well," said Casillas.

"In the interests of the club, the first ball is not the next. It is clear that if they repeat it is because it was the most normal thing to do."

The new draw means Real Madrid will meet PSG in the round of 16.
