Atletico Madrid is through to the Champions League quarterfinals after eliminating Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday in the round of 16. Entering the second leg with a 4-2 advantage, Atleti held Leverkusen to a 0-0 draw in Spain to move on comfortably.
The German side wasted numerous chances to get back into it. Needing a 3-0 result at minimum, Leverkusen sent several chances wide and were frustrated by Jan Oblak, who pulled off a pair of stunning saves in the second half to cement Atleti’s ticket to the next round.
