Leicester City crash out of Champions League after Atletico draw

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.

It was reported that the visitors however held on to reach their third semi-final in four seasons.
