Leicester: kicked out of Champion League

Leicester’s superb debut Champions League campaign came to an end as Atletico Madrid sealed their progress to the last four with a draw at the King Power Stadium.

Leading 1-0 from the first leg in Spain, Atletico took control through Saul Niguez’s first-half header to have a 2-0 lead over two legs.

City took the game to Atletico after the break and gave themselves hope via Jamie Vardy’s close-range finish which drew the tie 1-1 on the night but 1-2 aggregate.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the visitors however held on to reach their third semi-final in four seasons.(NAN)
