Referee Jonas Eriksson pointed to the spot despite Leicester's protests and Schmeichel could not produce a third penalty save after his two in the tie against Sevilla. "We didn't sit back after that, a great game, fantastic game, and I'm very pleased we got back to 2-2 and our response".

"We expect a fantastic night of football at Leicester - the English atmosphere, the fans on top of the pitch".
