On March 12, the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, Leverkusen will face Arsenal at home. Before the match, Leverkusen's official social media continued to create buzz.
Leverkusen's official channel posted a fun photo, with a "no corner" sign posted on the home corner flag area, and the caption "sorry guys, rules are rules...," teasing Arsenal's super corner kick scoring ability.
Arsenal has scored a lot of goals this season with systematic corner kick tactics, becoming one of the most efficient set-piece teams in European football, which also makes many opponents feel a headache.
Before the game, Leverkusen continued to stir things up. After closing the away team's locker room power supply and spoofing Arteta's "light bulb theory," they used the joke of banning corner kicks to warm up this Champions League focus battle in a fancy way.
