K<\/span>Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday, with AI Havertz scoring a penalty in the 89th minute.<\/p>\n

The Premier League leaders fell behind in the Round of 16 first leg at BayArena with Robert Andrich’s goal just after half-time.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta’s side looked set to go into next week’s second leg with a one-goal lead until Malik Tillman fouled Noni Madueke. After a VAR check, a penalty was confirmed and Germany international Havertz fired a low shot past Janis Vlasovic.<\/p>\n

The second leg will be played at the Emirates Stadium in London next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet again in the Champions League later on Wednesday. It will be the fifth consecutive season that the rivals have been drawn in Europe’s biggest club soccer competition.<\/p>\n

The two sides, who faced each other at league stage, will now face each other three times this season by the end of the Round of 16.<\/p>\n

City won that match 2-1, but they go into this encounter knowing that they have lost to Madrid in both of the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

Madrid are without big names such as Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo as they aim to win 15 times.<\/p>\n

Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain were hosting Club World Cup winners Chelsea, while Bodt\/Glimt were hosting Sporting Lisbon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
