​Legendary Juventus keeper Buffon wants to avoid Leicester

Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon reckons Leicester City are the team to avoid in the Champions League quarter finals.

Leicester pulled off another unlikely footballing story by overturning a 2-1 deficit from the first-leg of their last-16 tie against Sevilla to go through 3-2 winners on aggregate at the King Power Stadium.

"Who do I prefer not to play? Leicester, because they are a dangerous and passionate team who can cause trouble for opponents who take the initiative," said Buffon after his team beat Porto 1-0 in their second leg on Tuesday night.

"Against them, we would have everything to lose."
