Many experts had probably predicted a win for the Gunners against Leverkusen beforehand. But things are turning out quite differently in the Champions League right now.
In the 46th minute, the Werkself beat Arsenal at their own game and scored after a corner. Robert Andrich, who had already been booked, headed in to give Leverkusen the lead. It’s a feeling the Premier League club hasn’t experienced at all in this Champions League season so far.
Because in all the group stage matches, Mikel Arteta’s team was never once behind and conceded only four goals in total.
It gets even funnier from Leverkusen’s perspective when you consider that Arsenal didn’t have a single corner in the first half. Before the match, Leverkusen had even put up this sign in their stadium because of Arsenal’s strength on corners.
Let’s see how the Gunners respond. So far, from Bayer’s point of view, they’ve kept a clean sheet. It would be a good position for the second leg next week in London.
