Fuchs says 'small' Leicester have to enjoy Champions League - 'We might never be here again'

Leicester City full-back Christian Fuchs says that the Foxes should enjoy their time in the Champions League because they might not find themselves in a similar situation again.

The Foxes, who are the only British side left in the last eight of the competition, will play Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their quarter-final at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday. Atletico won the first-leg 1-0 at Vicente Calderon.

He said: "Being in the quarter-finals is outstanding and being in the quarter-finals as the last British team is also a great achievement.

"We just enjoy the time we have. We might never be here again. We might be at some point again but right now it is simply this one game that we have and we try to give everything to be successful.

"I think the atmosphere is outstanding at home and our fans have proved in the last couple of games they are the 12th man and can carry us to wins.

"They carried us to the success against Sevilla, when I saw the stadium before I knew something special will happen again and I'm fired up and looking forward to it.

"It is something very special to us, we are small Leicester City playing in the Champions League and it is great."
