Arsenal vs. Bayer Leverkusen: Your Complete Guide to Catching All the Action Live
Arsenal received a stark reminder of the challenges that come with competing in the Champions League's knockout rounds last week, as they were lucky to secure a 1–1 draw in the opening leg of their round of 16 encounter against Bayer Leverkusen.
Despite criticism suggesting the Gunners had an easy route to Budapest, Mikel Arteta's team must still deliver on Tuesday evening to simply advance to the quarterfinals, where competition favorites Bodø/Glimt could be waiting.
Arsenal appeared headed for their first European loss since last season's semifinal second leg, but a questionable penalty converted by ex-Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz has leveled the tie and kept the Gunners as strong favorites to progress.
However, Leverkusen demonstrated at the BayArena that they possess the ability to trouble the Premier League frontrunners, with their composed build-up play ensuring Kasper Hjulmand's squad rarely felt overwhelmed by Arsenal's intense pressing game.
Leverkusen's composure when in possession will probably dictate how successful they can be at the Emirates Stadium, and they'll draw encouragement from their league phase victory over Manchester City as they travel to north London hoping to secure a quarterfinal spot.
