Calhanoglu’s strike puts Atletico under pressure

Atletico Madrid have a mountain to climb if they are to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals after they endured a night to forget at Bayer Leverkusen.

Having made last year’s final, Atletico were big favourites against the out-of-form Leverkusen, but they lost 1-0 in the first leg of their last-16 match thanks to a stunning strike from Hakan Calhanoglu.

Diego Simeone’s team were outplayed by the Germans for the majority of the game and ended with 10 men after Tiago was sent off for a second bookable offence.
