Champions League Quarter Final 2nd Leg Goals – Tuesday

The dream is over for Leicester as they are edged out by Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid at The King Power Stadium last night. Needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, the main objective would have been not only to score at one end but also make sure they did not concede at the other.

Unfortunately their best laid plans were blown to pieces when Saul Niguez made it 1-0 to the away side and doubled Atletico’s aggregate lead. Credit must go to Leicester as they pulled themselves back into the game just after the hour mark through Jamie Vardy.

But because of the crucial away goal it meant that Leicester would then have to score three on the night and try as they might it was a task that they just could not complete. The European adventure ends here for The Foxes, now Craig Shakespeare has to make sure they secure their Premier League status for next season.

The Champions League holders are through to the Semi Finals where there is now every chance they could face their cross city rivals Atletico thanks to a 4-2 win over Bayern Munich at The Bernabeu last night. But looking at the scoreline it does not perhaps reflect the story of the game.

It was all set up for a blockbuster ending with the score on the night at 2-1 to Bayern but the tie was then turned on its head with the sending off of Arturo Vidal. The Chilean international will not want to face Los Blancos anytime soon as to add to his penalty miss in the first leg he was then very harshly sent off in the 84th minute.

With extra time beckoning and Real having a man advantage they then rubbed salt in the wounds of the German champions when Ronaldo leveled on the night to all but secure their progress. What would have galled Carlo Ancelotti further was the fact that Ronaldo should have been given offside. A night to forget for the officials.
