I Want To Avoid Leicester City – Juventus Star Concerned About Drawing Foxes

Wes Morgan became the first Jamaican player to score in the Champions League when he bundled Riyad Mahrez’s cross into the net against Sevilla on Tuesday night as Leicester City secured their place in Friday’s quarter-final draw.

Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund are already in the last eight, while Manchester City could join the Foxes with victory at Monaco this morning.

The 39-year-old said: “I’ve been there in a relegation fight before and for them, perhaps it’s now a case of feeling that they have to fight now to show that they’ve got a backbone and they can stay in the league”.

Said Heskey: “Only at the end of the season. we’ll see if sacking Ranieri was the right decision”.

“When the draw was made, everyone said, ‘Ooh, Seville.’ We knew what they’re about”.

When performance levels dipped and Ranieri demanded more, they turned against him, added Souness, warning it could happen again: “Those players that are rejoicing out there think they’re back, that they’re big players”, he told Irish TV. Or, in other words, they are perfectly set up to face the other teams left in the competition.

Even at their worst, I never thought Jamie Vardy wasn’t chasing lost causes with the same determination. Anyone would be fantastic. We’re champions.’ They took their foot off the accelerator and got into their big comfy armchairs, got their Bentley in the vehicle park, maybe changed their house.

‘We must focus on the league. “We are not going to beat too many teams by concentrating on them”.

“No, not as yet. We had the opportunities to go through”. “The priority is to win every game and, with West Ham being next, that’s the priority”. Leicester still have some way to go before matching that feat but this is a team who, like Brian Clough’s Forest, certainly believe in miracles.

They did that with the help of a brilliant early Schmeichel stop from Nasri and the Dane then repeated his first-leg heroics by saving another Sevilla penalty, this time from Steven N’Zonzi with ten minutes remaining.

It was the second miss from the spot by Los Nervionenses in the tie and Sampaoli acknowledged how crucial it was.

Seeing as this was the first – and quite possibly last – Champions League knock out tie to be played in Leicester, some fans decided it was the flawless opportunity to show off a big, fancy banner. Keepers get judged on clean sheets and I don’t quite think that’s fair. It was an unbelievable evening, I’m proud of all the boys.
