HT: Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 Newcastle
Leon Osman
Former Everton midfielder on MOTD: UEFA Champions League
Newcastle are still doing well at getting up to the edge of the Leverkusen area really easily, but Leverkusen put everyone behind the ball and Newcastle don't know what to do. When they lose the ball, they are so open, Leverkusen could have had more goals on the counter-attack.
You can hear more from Osman on MOTD: Uefa Champions League at 22:40 BST on BBC One and the BBC Sport website and app.
