Bayer Leverkusen drawn in Champions League last 16

We have been drawn against Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 of the Champions League.

We will face the German side in the first leg at their BayArena home on either Tuesday, March 10 or Wednesday, March 11, before the return fixture in north London a week later, on either Tuesday, March 17 or Wednesday, March 18. Fixture confirmation will be announced in due course.

Bayer are currently sixth in the Bundesliga, but reached this stage in the competition by finishing 16th in the league phase before winning 2-0 at Olympiacos in the play-off round first leg, thanks to a Patrik Schick brace, while a 0-0 draw on Tuesday was enough to punch their last 16 ticket.
