​Shakespeare: Leicester away goal leaves Sevilla clash nicely poised

Craig Shakespeare says Leicester City's away goal makes tomorrow's home leg against Sevilla interesting.

"We knew by getting the away goal it gave us a great opportunity," said Shakespeare. "It'll be a special occasion and the atmosphere will be electric. We're not going to be open but I want to play on the front foot.

"I'm quite calm and collected. Hopefully I'll stay calm so the players aren't overemotional. Of course I'll be excited. We have to compete for the 90 minutes or extra-time. I didn't see the Barcelona game (versus Paris St-Germain) but I saw the result."

Sevilla won 2-1 in the first leg, with Jamie Vardy scoring for the Foxes.
