Leicester ready for hardened Atletico 11 April 2017, 05:51 Tweet Leicester City have shown a remarkable ability to defy the odds but face their sternest test yet in the Champions League quarterfinal against Atletico Madrid, the team they have replaced as European football's most fashionable underdogs. Before Leicester enchanted the sporting world last year with their miraculous Premier League title win, Atletico had worked similar wonders in 2014 by breaking the strangehold of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga. Now the two sides who have punched delightfully above their weight meet in the first leg in Madrid on Wednesday – but it is Leicester who remain the European novices while Atletico have grown into true continental heavyweights under Diego Simeone. Unlike Leicester, who after their barely believable title win experienced an emphatic downturn in results which ultimately cost coach Claudio Ranieri his job in February, there was no difficult follow-up campaign for Atletico.

The Foxes visit Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League hoping to avenge their UEFA Cup loss 20 years ago.

Atletico Madrid eliminated Leicester City from the 1997 UEFA Cup in controversial circumstances.

The King Power has proved to be the perfect environment for Leicester City's Champions League adventure - and so it proved once more here. Saul's goal was the 100th Atletico Madrid had scored in the Champions League, in their 68th match in the competition. Leicester exit the Champions League unbeaten at home in their first campaign (W4 D1). Atletico Madrid are also away from home in their next match - a trip to Espanyol in La Liga on Saturday (19:45 BST).
