Leicester City will be playing host to Atletico Madrid in the second-leg of the quarterfinal stage of the uefa champions-league today at the Kings Power stadium.
Simeone’s men visit England with one goal advantage after beating Leicester City 1-0 in the first-leg of the match in Spain, courtesy of Antoine Griezmann’s goal which came from the spot kick.
Though its a tough situation for the host, but hey will be hoping to make history by progressing to the semifinal stage of the champions league in their debut knowing full well that they have lost hope of finishing top four in the premier league.
Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare is wary of Atletico Madrid’s counter-attack and will get his men to be very careful despite the fact that they would need to attack to enable them overturn the 1-0 lead deficit, but Altetico have scored at least one goal in all their last six matches.
Atletico who have reached two finals in the last three years will have to prove a point by edging out debutant Leicester City irrespective of their quest to overturn the 1-0 deficit at their home.
Atletico have really had a good head-to-head record with English teams, but they need to be careful with Leicester City who sent Sevilla packing in the round of 16 stage, despite a 0ne-goal lead advantage in the first-leg.
