UEFA Champions League: Leverkusen, Monaco Post Series-Opening Wins

The opening cycle of games in the UEFA Champions League's Round of 16 concluded on Wednesday with two contests.

At Leverkusen, Germany:

Hakan Calhanoglu scored the only goal of the match in the 57th minute (that's him celebrating with teammates after scoring) as Bayer Leverkusen defeated visiting (and ten-man) Atletico Madrid 1-0 in their series opener.

At London:
Clinical Monaco catch Arsenal cold
Geoffrey Kondogbia (38', that's him celebrating after scoring with teammates), Dimitar Berbatov (53'), and Yannick Ferreira Carrasco (90'+4') each scored a goal as AS Monaco knocked off Arsenal 3-1 on the road in the opening match of their two-game series.
