Bayer Leverkusen vs FC Barcelona History
Die Werkself have enjoyed something of an up and down time in Europe’s leading club competition. They first qualified for the tournament in 1997/98 and reached the last eight, and in 2001/02, they got to the UEFA Champions League Final, only to lose out to Real Madrid thanks to an incredible winner from Zinedine Zidane. However, outside this successful period, the Bundesliga side has not made much of an impact. A number of Round of 16 finishes is the best it’s gotten since.
FC Barcelona are, of course, multiple winners of the famous trophy. In 1961, they lost the European Cup Final to Benfica, and twenty-five years later, Terry Venables’ side surprisingly lost the 1986 final to Romanian outfit Steaua Bucharest. The Camp Nou side’s pursuit of a title finally ended in 1992 when a Ronald Koeman extra-time winner saw off the challenge of Sampdoria. The La Liga side picked up their first UEFA Champions League triumph in 2006 by beating Arsenal in Paris. In 2009 and 2011, the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta played key roles in famous UEFA Champions League Final wins over Manchester United in Rome and London. In 2015, under Luis Enrique, FC Barcelona eased past Juventus to win their fifth top-tier European crown.
Bayer Leverkusen vs FC Barcelona Head-to-Head
These two teams have met repeatedly in the UEFA Champions League. Perhaps the most well-known encounter came when the teams were drawn in the group stage of the 2011/12 edition of the tournament. A brace from Alexis Sanchez helped FC Barcelona win 3-1 in Germany before Lionel Messi shone in the return game, scoring five times in a 7-1 thrashing.
