To making the Calderón a fort against Leicester
It will be the third Champions knockout round we will play the Foxes, after playing against them in the 61/62 UEFA Cup Winner's Cup and in the 97/98 UEFA Cup.
Atlético de Madrid returns this Wednesday to the Champions League again at the Vicente Calderón, where they expect to be off to a good start in their quarter- final matches against Leicester.
At their stadium, the red and white team has only lost one match in the last 21 Champions matches, but the Foxes come to the game in their best shape. Before last Sunday, they had won six consecutive games and only Everton managed to finish with Craig Shakespeare’s unbeaten record, who in this game made many of the starters rest.
Thus, we have a rival enjoying a run of luck that defies our own run of luck, since Simeone’s players have been unbeaten for eight games. A reliability that they want to reclaim against Leicester, a team we eliminated in the 61/62 UEFA Cup Winner's Cup and in the 97/98 UEFA Cup.
