Bayer Leverkusen hosts Arsenal for Champions League round of 16

Bayer Leverkusen is scheduled to play Arsenal today at 19:45 at the Bay Arena. This match represents the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

Ahead of the fixture, the German club posted a humorous social media message regarding Arsenal's high success rate with corner kicks. Leverkusen replaced a corner flag with a sign reading 'No corners allowed' to acknowledge Arsenal's proficiency in set-piece goals over the past two years. The match is expected to take place in a capacity-filled stadium.
