The poster claimed that bookmakers were no longer willing to
accept bets on the draw, although it is understood that most were
not running books on it anyway.
When all four ties predicted in the post came to fruition it
caused fevered internet speculation that some sort of manipulation
might have taken place.
But a UEFA spokesman said: 'It is just a lucky guess. I have
been in touch with people internally and they are quite surprised.
They find it a little ridiculous actually.
'The results of the draw and the practice draw were completely
different, and I think it was just pure luck that this guy could
get them all right.
'That's the only explanation we can give.'
Former Russia goalkeeper Rinat Dasaev pulled the balls out of
the hat during the draw, which was televised live, with UEFA
general secretary David Taylor watching on.
UEFA are confident that the entire procedure was impossible to
rig.
'It's a draw that's open to the public and club representatives.
The balls are all of the same colour and there are no distinctive
marks on them,' the spokesman added.
'I was just 10 metres away and what was drawn was also read by
Mr Taylor. It (a fix) is impossible.'
