Having struggled to break through Inter Milan’s resolute defence, Bayer Leverkusen managed to secure all three points through a late winner by Nordi Mukiele to strengthen their position in the Champions League group standings.

Inter have prevailed in all three past meetings with Tuesday's hosts, who they last faced in the Champions League during the 2002-03 campaign. Having done the double over Leverkusen in the group stage, the Milan giants went on to reach that season's semi-finals.
