Shakespeare ponders Morgan gamble for Atletico clash

It was provoked but it did get a bit tasty so we left.

Swedish ref Eriksson awarded a spot-kick for Marc Albrighton's foul on Griezmann on the edge of the box. The final decision lies with the referee and it's cost us. Leicester suffered a huge blow when it became clear that Morgan will not be travelling to Spain as he was left back in England to recuperate.

Shakespeare hopes regular captain Wes Morgan, missing with a back injury, could potentially be fit to replace Huth on Tuesday.

Leicester City have changed a lot since then, and this game was completely different. "After the 1-0, Leicester defended very well, sat deep, waited for a counter-attack and we couldn't create more chances".

It could be argued that Borussia Dortmund having to play the match a day after the bomb scare was unfair but take nothing away from Monaco, they have been fantastic all season with 18-year-old M'bappe emerging as their superstar. It was a game many struggled to pick a victor from between arguably the two best sides in Europe but Bayern do not have any player in Ronaldo's league although Robert Lewandowski was a big loss.

They defended well and were vigilant although Atletico's one-paced second-half performance played into their hands. We live from game to game.

Both have recovered from poor positions with five wins from six top-flight games, but boss Sam Allardyce has warned his troops that they must now move on from the high of downing the Gunners.

Leicester had enjoyed a good spell of possession, but were caught on the break by the hosts as Griezmann ran nearly the length of the pitch before being brought down by Mark Albrighton at the edge of the penalty area.

Leicester also had to overcome a first-leg loss to a Spanish club in the last 16, eliminating Sevilla 3-2 on aggregate. "We know what it's about", Shakespeare said.

"In the first half Griezmann was getting in between the lines, getting in the pockets and causing us problems".

"One or two more results and we should be safe". I don't believe anyone we work with believes we're already in the semifinals.

"We have been working on achieving regularity for a long time and [against Osasuna] we are probably going to find a team that comes excited from their two consecutive wins".

The most spectacular of the quarter-finals pits Real Madrid against Bayern Munich, who demolished Arsenal in the last round.
