Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen History

Arsenal’s efforts to land a European Cup or UEFA Champions League have been ongoing for quite some time, and under Arsene Wenger’s reign, the Gunners came painfully close to realizing that dream. They were nearly ever-present in the latter stages of the competition for the best part of two decades, and in 2006, they reached the final, where they met FC Barcelona in Paris. They were reduced to ten men early on when keeper Jens Lehmann was sent off, but Sol Campbell nonetheless put the Premier League side ahead, only for their La Liga opponents to roar back in the final quarter to win 2-1 and crush Arsenal’s dreams for another year.

Bayer Leverkusen have also tasted UEFA Champions League Final heartache. Their moment came in 2002 when they took on a Galatico-filled Real Madrid side, and it took a wonder volley from Zinedine Zidane to see Vicente del Bosque’s side past their opponents in Glasgow. In 2023/24, Xabi Alonso helped clinch the club’s first-ever Bundesliga title and did it without losing a game. They also reached the UEFA Europa League Final that year, surprisingly losing to Atalanta BC in the final.

These two sides met in the second group phase of the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League, with the encounter at the BayArena ending in a draw and the game at Highbury seeing Robert Pires, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Dennis Bergkhamp on the scoresheet in a crushing 4-1 win. However, Bayer Leverkusen would go on to qualify and progress to the final, whereas Arsenal’s hopes faltered.

A number of stars have turned out for both teams over the years, including Bernd Leno and Kai Havertz. Another individual to have done so is Swiss international Granit Xhaka. The tough-tackling midfielder made 297 appearances for Arsenal over the course of his seven seasons at the Emirates Stadium, scoring 23 goals, before switching to Bayer Leverkusen and playing a key role in their domestic double in his debut season.
