Leverkusen seem unlikely to feature in this competition next season

After a bright start to the Bundesliga season, Leverkusen have found results hard to come by since the turn of the year and have slowly slipped down the table to find themselves currently in 10th spot.

Having conceded 15 goals in their previous five fixtures, this clean sheet would be something to celebrate in itself, but given that they have failed to win any of their three league fixtures since their first leg loss to Atletico there will understandably be no celebrations.

On the positive side, they are only four points off 6th position, which they will target first before looking upwards to secure a European spot.
