Bayer Leverkusen vs. Atletico Madrid: Highlights from Champions League Clash

Atletico Madrid visited Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night in their first step toward reaching their second consecutive Champions League final. 

Neither team managed a goal in the first half, but much of that is thanks to Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who did fine work to deny Atletico an opening goal.

The managers provided much of the first-half fireworks, as Atletico coaches German Burgos and Diego Simeone had a confrontation with German manager Roger Schmidt.

Fernando Torres thought he had equalised for Atletico, but his goal was disallowed when the initial corner kick appeared to go out of bounds first.
