Atletico Beat Leverkusen 4-2
Atletico Beat Leverkusen 4-2
Berlin - Arab Today
Atletico Madrid beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 in a surprisingly helter-skelter Champions League last-16 first leg at the BayArena. Diego Simeone's side are now big favourites to progress despite surprising defensive issues that kept Roger Schmidt's outfit in the tie for longer than they deserved.
Atletico looked in complete control after first-half goals from Saul Niguez and Antoine Griezmann. The second half then brought further drama, with Karim Bellarabi quickly making it 2-1, Kevin Gameiro winning and scoring a penalty, and a mistake from visiting goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya leading to a Stefan Savic own goal.
Bayer striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez saw a shot cleared off the line by Filipe Luis as the Bundesliga side sensed a famous comeback. But substitute Fernando Torres' late header means that the La Liga outfit should really progress from the return game at the Calderon on March 15.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
