Edmond Tapsoba - Fourteen clearances in draw Tapsoba recorded three tackles (three won), 14 clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Olympiacos.

Impact Tapsoba played a major role in locking down the clean sheet, putting on a clinic in box defending with three tackles, two blocks and a season high 14 clearances. He stayed calm under constant aerial pressure and came up big in the closing minutes, repeatedly clearing his lines as the visitors pushed numbers forward and tried to turn the match into chaos. His rock solid defensive performance anchored the back line and helped the Werkself see out the result and punch their ticket to the next round of the Champions League.

Alex Grimaldo - Brillant performance in tie Grimaldo recorded two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Olympiacos.

Impact Grimaldo was a nonstop weapon down the left flank and came inches from finding the net around the hour mark, ripping a vicious left-footed strike from a tight angle that thundered off the crossbar. He also whipped in the service for Patrik Schick's early headed look and kept Olympiacos under siege with relentless set-piece pressure. Grimaldo stuffed the stat sheet with five shots, five tackles (four won) and a season-high three interceptions, capping off a dominant two-way performance with the MVP trophy.

Patrik Schick - Three shots in draw Schick had three shots (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Olympiacos.

Impact Schick was aggressive from the jump, nearly striking in the fourth minute with a header that drifted just wide before ripping a left-footed shot from distance two minutes later that missed the frame. His clearest look came deep in stoppage time, but his left-footed attempt from the heart of the box slid inches past the post. He didn't add to his first-leg brace, but Leverkusen never needed fireworks to close this one out and punch their ticket to the next round. Schick now owns four goals and one assist in eight Champions League appearances, further cementing his elite European form for the Werkself.

Janis Blaswich - Clean sheet secures qualification Blaswich had one save and allowed zero goals in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Olympiacos.

Impact Blaswich pitched the shutout that sealed Leverkusen's 2-0 aggregate victory and punched their ticket to the next round, coming up with a key late save once Olympiacos started to build real momentum and apply pressure. He stayed sharp on his line and controlled the box when it mattered most, helping his side ride out the late surge without cracking. With five clean sheets in his last nine appearances across all competitions, he's making a serious case to keep the gloves even once Mark Flekken (knee) is cleared to return, setting up a legitimate debate over who owns the number one spot moving forward.

Ibrahim Maza - Forced off midweek Maza was forced to exit Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Olympiacos after picking up a thigh discomfort, Le Fussball reports.

Impact Maza had a quiet outing against the Greek team before leaving his place on the pitch to Ernest Poku. The 20-year-old could now be dealing with a muscle issue, the extent of which remains unknown. He has made four consecutive starts in an attacking midfield role, though failing to score or assist in that span.

Lucas Vazquez - Leaves with injury in UCL game Vazquez left Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Olympiacos due to an undisclosed injury, Le Fussball reports.

Impact Vazquez could miss upcoming league action if he's dealing with a muscular issue, having already been sidelined for several weeks earlier in the season. His participation is currently in doubt, but a potential absence would reduce the squad's right wing-back options to Arthur and Jonas Hofmann.

Malik Tillman - Remains out Tillman (ankle) is out for Tuesday's match against Olympiacos.

Impact Tillman was already unlikely to play Tuesday and has not made the call, appearing to have failed his testing ahead of the contest. Unfortunately for the club, this isa rough loss, starting in three of their past five outings. Jonas Hofmann sees the start in his place, his first start in three appearances.
