Much as we all love Leicester, I’ve had 4 bets on Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid have played in two of the last three Champions League finals.

They know how to navigate six Group games.

This season they won their first five games against against Bayern, PSV and Rostov, then lost 1-0 at the  Allianz to a Lewandowski goal in the 28th minute on Matchday 6.

And Atletico Madrid also know to get through the Round of 16.

So Kasper Schmeichel might have to play the game of his life in the Vicente Calderon tonight.

Diego Simeone says Leicester play in a way that suits their players, as his own team does.

Simeone’s word for the Foxes is vertical:  With the explosiveness of Vardy, who I like a lot, they are vertical, intense, precise at times. They strengthen the qualities of their players and that is what took them to their place in Europe.”

Foxes fireball Jamie Vardy is back in form but will have to beat one of the world’s  finest goalkeepers tonight.

I’ve been watching Jan Oblak for over two years and and he’s as good as any Champions League keeper.
