Dream Run Coming To An End

There’s a school of thought that Atletico Madrid represented the worst possible draw for Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Less feared than Barca, Real and Bayern - they do still boast the best defence, perhaps on the continent. Atleti have conceded just two goals in their last nine outings.

The Rojiblancos may have only won their home leg 1-0 but I fancy them to finish the job by repeating the same scoreline in the East Midlands at best odds of 6/1 with Paddy Power.

The Foxes will be forced to attack at some stage on Tuesday night but their opponents are masters of withstanding such pressure having knocked out Barca and Bayern en route to the final last year.

Leicester are not at that level, however remarkable their odyssey has been, and don’t be surprised if they get sucker punched without Huth and possibly Morgan in central defence.
