Is this a good draw considering the clubs left ?
could this round be the end of this amazing story ?
If if they could go on and actually win it, it would be a real "Roy of the Rovers" story.

Based on what I have seen of Athletico previously could be a strange contest. Rather like Leicester they seem happy to cede possession and then hit hard on the counterattack, There's a real danger of the ball being left in the centre circle and no-one wanting it.
If Griesmann and Simeone want their moves to the Premier League then this is their shop window.
Still something not right about Leicester. Relegation fodder, to winning the league by 10 points and back to relegation fodder within the space of 18 months at the same time competing in the Champions League.
That said Madeley White Star would have probably got out of the Group Leicester were in and Sevilla made a good job of beating themselves with x missed penalties and a sending off across the tie.
A step too far this time I think (hope!)

Hope they wipe the floor with the cunts but I can honestly see Leicester winning it.

Most important thing is that a big club wins it

Unfortunately I think Leicester have more than enough to put Athletico to bed.

Unfortunately I think Leicester have more than enough to put Athletico to bed. But not enough to finish higher than Burnley in the league? Get the fuck outta here. |

Worst draw possible imo. Atletico play in a similar way to Leicester but have better players, no contest.

Leicester continue riding their incredible luck !!!
After having the most piss weak group in CL history, they drew perennial CL underachievers Seville and now the team which is the least free scoring of the 7 they could hsve drawn
The big 4 were drawn against each other abd the 2 teams which score for fun were drawn against each other
If shakespeare was allowed to choose im sure he would have chosen atletico with the first leg being away !!!

Let's agree to revisit this when we know the outcome. Meantime a quick glance at a league table will show you Leicester are 4 points behind Burnley with a match in hand, do you think they won't catch them in the next 10 games? |

No. And even if they do, they're both still shit. Leicester don't have anything on Atletico. |

Really!!! If Stoke had, had Leicesters run and fans were saying this we would be calling it lazy journalism. I suppose Leicester winning the title by 10 points was incredible luck also. Athletico Madrid is an incredibly hard tie and I'll wager, perhaps, the tie Madrid and Barcelona are most happy to avoid. Athletico have been finalists of the champions league twice in the last 3 years. They are notoriously good(incredible) defensively and, personally, I think it will be a major achievement if Leicester can even get a goal in either tie, let alone win the thing. If they do win it then they will have to play out of their skin and will deserve all the credit they get, but I suppose because it is Leicester, they will be called lucky again. |

Why wouldn't I want Leicester to do Athletico and ultimately win it. They've got Huth for starters and their success does prove that just occasionally great cheap signings and a strong team ethic can beat the moneybags giants
