Leicester boss Shakespeare grateful to Foxes fans

Craig Shakespeare praised Leicester City's fans for their magnificent support in the Champions League last night.

The Foxes wrote yet another chapter in their ever-increasing history book with a 2-0 victory over Sevilla in the Round of 16 second leg to progress to the quarter-finals with a 3-2 aggregate win.

"We know when the crowd get behind us here it can lift the players but also the players can lift the fans with the type of football that we started with from the first minute," he told LCFC TV.

"It (a quarter-final) would be memorable for everybody at the Football Club, myself included, but the supporters too. They got behind us from the very first minute.

"Everybody associated with the Football Club can be proud of that performance tonight."
