Shakespeare delighted to take Leicester into Champions League quarters
Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare cannot wait for the club to host a Champions League quarter-final after a memorable last-16 victory over Sevilla.
Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton got the crucial goals at a buoyant King Power Stadium on Tuesday night as the Foxes overcame a 2-1 deficit from the away leg.
It means the Premier League champions could face the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the next round, with another big night for the city of Leicester just around the corner.
“It (a quarter-final) would be memorable for everybody at the football club, myself included, but the supporters too,” said Shakespeare.
“They got behind us from the very first minute. Everybody associated with the football club can be proud of that performance.

“We also needed to show a competitive edge and I think we showed that from the first minute. I think we set our stall out really well from the first minute.
“That was the gameplan, to try to make it as uncomfortable as we could for Sevilla. We didn’t want them playing their passing game and you could see that from the first minute.
“We know when the crowd get behind us here it can lift the players but also the players can lift the fans with the type of football that we started with from the first minute.”
