Goalless draw enough for Leverkusen to go through
Bayer Leverkusen will face Bayern Munich or Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League after playing out a 0-0 draw with Olympiacos in their play-off second leg.
Leverkusen already led the tie by two goals after its win in Greece, and despite creating a number of chances, it was unable to improve its margin of aggregate victory.
Fresh from his brace in the first leg, Patrik Schick was presented with two glorious opportunities early on, first heading wide from Alejandro Grimaldo's cross before failing to get the right connection on a lob over Konstantinos Tzolakis.
Jonas Hofmann's fourth-minute effort represented the only shot on target from either side in the first half, though Olympiacos then went close to opening the scoring.
Just five minutes after the restart, Gelson Martins forced Janis Blaswich into a sprawling stop before the Portuguese's dangerous delivery narrowly evaded Chiquinho in the box.
Leverkusen quickly rediscovered its groove and came within inches of putting the tie to bed just after the hour, only to see Grimaldo's fierce strike cannon against the crossbar.
The host almost got back ahead on the night in the second minute of stoppage time, but after being slipped in by Aleix Garcia, Schick lifted the ball over Tzolakis but wide of the mark.
