Bayer Leverkusen cruelly exit UEFA Europa League last-32 after away goals defeat to Krasnodar.

In the round of 16 first leg, the team lost 2: 3 1: 2 at Atalanta Bergamo.

But in the meantime it looked like a much higher defeat. Charles Aránguiz had quickly put the Bundesliga soccer team in the lead 11th minute. Bergamo continued to have chances after that, Bayer was under pressure and had big problems with the Serie A club. But then, to the great surprise, Leverkusen shortened the lead with Moussa Diaby 63'.

So it remains exciting before the second leg, which takes place next week on Thursday 6. The Catalans continued in the Europa League — and here, too, the whereabouts of the Spanish top club no longer seem certain.
