The tweet predicted the following:

Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayer Leverkusen
Manchester United vs Olympiacos
Chelsea vs Galatasaray
Borussia Dortmund vs Zenit Saint Petersburg
Real Madrid vs Schalke
Atlético Madrid vs AC Milan
Barcelona vs Manchester City
Bayern München vs Arsenal

The actual draw is:

Champions League round of 16 draw:

Manchester City v Barcelona
Olympiakos v Manchester United
AC Milan v Atletico Madrid
Bayer Leverkusen v Paris St-Germain
Galatasaray v Chelsea
Schalke v Real Madrid
Zenit St Petersburg v Dortmund
Arsenal v Bayern Munich

So they got the draw right then. The question is, can the dates on twitter be manipulated?

Dunno if you can alter the dates. But you can delete entries can't you?
