From having mulitple alleged scandals, accusations of fixing draws, change of existing formats to the ones that do not account players' physical and mental health - UEFA has got a lengthy track record of making some extremely poor & inhuman decisions.
Not only that but their incompetency took a further stride when they made huge errors on Live television (like they have in the past on a couple of occasions) during the 2021/22 season's Champions League Round of 16 draw.
It is well known that clubs of the same nationality or from the same group cannot be drawn against each other in the Round of 16 and yet they put Manchester United's draw ball into the pot and managed to draw them against Villereal only to realise this error (intentionally or unintentionally) & correcting it by drawing another opponent (Manchester City) for them later.
The chaos further intensified when they didnt put Manchester United's draw ball in the pot while drawing Atletico Madrid when both of those clubs were eligible to draw each other.
And in the end as many anticipated they managed to draw PSG against United in the last draw of the lot which looks a dubious move (definitely) in order to gain all the PR & public attention for a Messi vs Ronaldo headliner event in the R016.
Everything that this organisation has done has either taken away the purity from the sport or has favoured the clubs with more influential figures close to them behind the scenes. Bias, corruption, incompetence - you name it, you'll find something about it.
To settle the drama, UEFA announced that they would be redrawing the whole procedure which reflects pretty poorly on them.
Top sporting organisations in the world be it ICC, FIA, FIFA, etc have all been making such bizzare and pathetic decisions in their respective sports and it is more often being exposed with so much access to social media and inside information in this modern world
It is a fair reflection of how organisations are ruined through the means of capitalism, politics, bias, corruption & many more things of such nature.
