Bayer Leverkusen, which needs to overturn a 4-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday, is at the top of the list. No other team had reversed a four-goal deficit in the Champions League since the current format was introduced in the 1992-93 season. But Leverkusen may have a difficult time against an Atletico team that has only two losses in its last 33 home matches in European competitions. Leverkusen hasn't advanced past the last 16 of the Champions League since it lost to Real Madrid in the 2002 final. Virtually out of contention in the Spanish league, its best chance of lifting a trophy this season will come in the Champions League, the competition it lost to Real Madrid in the 2014 and 2016 finals.
