Coach Roger Schmidt brushed off suggestions he was feeling extra heat ahead of out-of-form Bayer Leverkusen's Champions League round of 16 first leg against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. "We are happy to be allowed to play in the Champions League at this stage and there are not many teams left in Europe who can claim that." Leverkusen, runners-up in 2002 when there was a second group section instead of a knockout round, have never won a game at this stage of the competition. "We want to show our fans from the first minute that we are not without chances." Leverkusen have a tough task against last season's runners-up but are hoping to rediscover the spectacular attacking form they showed at times earlier in the season.
