Leicester city reach Champions League quarter finals



   Leicester City wrote another chapter in their remarkable story as they overturned a first-leg deficit to beat Sevilla and reach the Champions League quarter-finals on a night of raw passion at the King Power Stadium.

   The Foxes looked in trouble after a 2-1 first-leg loss in Spain that was the catalyst for the sacking of Claudio Ranieri, the manager who had guided them into this competition after winning the Premier League nine months ago.
  Craig Shakespeare has now won all three games since stepping into the vacancy created by Claudio Ranieri's sacking after the first leg and he said beating Sevilla, Europa League winners in the last three seasons ranked alongside the club's greatest feats.
   The victory means the Foxes join the illustrious company of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Real Madrid in Friday's quarter-final draw.
   Today, Manchester City will go to Monaco and Atletico Madrid play Bayer Leverkusen to determine the final two sides in the last eight.
