UEFA committed a big blunder ahead of the second leg against Manchester City. In a post on Twitter, the organisation assumed Real Madrid would be the winners tonight and it has cooked up a storm online. The post was corrected minutes later, and they included Man City.

With the biggest game in the Champions League this season to date about to kick-off, UEFA have committed a big error in one of their posts online ahead of the game.

The European organisation wanted to publish details of a competition they are running, which will award the winner with tickets to the final of the Champions League in Istanbul.

Said tweet included the badges of the supposed two teams who will be fighting it out for the trophy, but they only put Real Madrid's badge, not Man City's. This gave the impression that Real Madrid had already reached the final of the competition, when in reality they still have a trickey tie vs Man City to get through.

Before UEFA could rectify the mistake, fans all over social media were quick to point it out, with some even thinking it was a sign of which side will be advancing to the final in Turkey.
