On March 11, in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, Bayer Leverkusen hosted Premier League leaders Arsenal at home. Before the match, Leverkusen's official account released a humorous video parodying Mikel Arteta's classic "light bulb speech."
In a documentary about Arsenal, Arteta once used a light bulb as a metaphor for team cohesion: "A light bulb alone is just a piece of glass; only when they are connected and powered can they shine and illuminate the entire field."
In a humorous video released by the official Leverkusen account, staff members used tools to seal off all the wall sockets in the away team's dressing room and remove all the power strips, captioned: "Prepped for @Arsenal👀"
This pre-match prank added even more intrigue to the Champions League clash between the two teams.
