Pep Guardiola’s men will play against the team that finished second to Chelsea in Group E, Bayer Leverkusen. The Germans were about to finish first in the group, but in the last matchday their draw with Genk, and Chelsea’s victory over Valencia, meant that the men managed by Robin Dutt were made to settle for second. It’s worth noting that Bayer Leverkusen beat both Chelsea (2-1) and Valencia (2-1) at Bay Arena. In both occasions the Germans were able to overturn the initial goals from Drogba and Jonas, respectively. (via FCBarcelona.cat)
