In Wednesday’s first leg of their all-German last 16 Champions League match, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen will meet for the first time on the European arena. The Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen match will kick off at 20:00 UK time.
This matchup follows Bayern Munich’s excellent 3-1 away win against Stuttgart last weekend, captained by Vincent Kompany. There are 10 games remaining in the Bundesliga season, and they now have an eight-point lead. Despite their great performance all season, they failed to impress in the UEFA Champions League, losing to Scottish champions Celtic 3–2 on aggregate in the recent knockout playoffs. A late winner was necessary to secure their victory.
Bayer Leverkusen, captained by Xabi Alonso, was undefeated in the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal last season. They’re back in the cup semi-finals after making it this far. However, they lost a game and had too many draws to close the gap with Bayern. However, they have maintained their formidable defence and advanced to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Not long ago, they won a remarkable match away from home against Eintracht Frankfurt, winning 4-1.
