Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli: It'll be Leicester's World Cup final

Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli expects a huge challenge at Champions League opponents Leicester City.

The visitors will take a 2-1 lead with them to the King Power Stadium.

"We have a group of analysts who have produced a clear report of what happened in the Ranieri era, and what's happening now with the complete about-turn in morale and how the team is now back to being as dangerous as they were last year," the Sevilla coach said.

"We have modified our plans. Leicester have demonstrated that they will play this game as if it were a World Cup final and we know that by not winning by the margin we deserved in the first match we're going to be under a lot of pressure and that if we don't go for it it'll be an uphill battle."
