“No Corners Allowed!” - Leverkusen’s Playful Prep for Arsenal Clash

Bayer Leverkusen is preparing for the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 match against Arsenal, to be held at the Bay Arena. In a humorous move, the Leverkusen team placed a sign reading “No Corners Allowed!” at the corner spot, due to Arsenal’s effectiveness from set pieces. Arsenal is the leading team in Europe in terms of goals scored from corners, having developed corner kicks into a highly effective tactic. This move is an attempt to psychologically influence the opposing team before the match.
