Leverkusen – Favorite Arsenal suffered a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League. The Londoners, who were the top team in the league phase and had won all eight games of the season in the competition up to that point, were behind the German runner-up for a long time. It was only a controversial penalty, scored by Kai Havertz, who grew up at Leverkusen, in the 89th minute that saved them the draw. The second leg follows next Tuesday.
