Clever plan! Bayer comes up with an original solution to Arsenal’s set-piece threat from corners

Leverkusen are taking a lighthearted approach to the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 clash against Arsenal.

Details: Tomorrow, Bayer Leverkusen will face Arsenal at the Emirates for the return leg. Despite the high stakes and tension, the "Pharmacists" are approaching the encounter with humor, playfully teasing the Gunners for their impressive conversion rate from corners.

According to the PR admin of Bayer’s page on X, the perfect way to neutralize Arsenal’s attacking prowess on set pieces would be to switch from traditional corner kicks to curved ones, rounding off the flag area altogether.

Fans joined in on the joke in the comments, noting that even such an unconventional move wouldn’t guarantee eliminating Arsenal’s threat from set plays.

The first leg in Leverkusen ended 1-1, adding another layer of intrigue to tomorrow’s decisive clash.

Reminder: Ready! Arsenal decides to trigger Piero Hincapié's buyout clause
