Champions League duty is back at Vicente Calderón Stadium. Quarter final first leg is scheduled this Wednesday (kick-off 19:45 BST) in a contest versus Premier League holders Leicester City. A big challenge against a strong side in the road to what would be their third final in the last four seasons. But the step-by-step philosophy of the Red-and-whites focuses only on the next game and to get a good result in a game with a huge expectation in and out of the Club. The second leg will be played away at King Power Stadium on April the 19th.

Fernando Torres faces a well-known rival as he beat Foxes on 2012 FA Cup quarter final with a superb performance -two goals and two assists included the 5-2 win at Stamford bridge. So Leicester City are among the huge number of English teams that suffered Fernando’s goals in the past. After beating Leicester Chelsea won the Cup Title that season.

Cahill scored the opener and Kalou made it 2-0 through an assist by Torrres. After, the striker scored twice before serving the third for Portuguese midfielder Meireles, who was before also Torres’ teammate in Liverpool. Beckford and Marshall reduced the gap to 5-2 with late goals (78’ and 88’).

Atlético are seeking the long-awaited Champions League glory after two Champions League finals in the last three years and four successive quarter-finals. Red-and-whites have also hit form just at the right time winning five of their last seven games and conceding just two goals. Also they held La Liga leaders Real to a 1-1 draw away at the Bernabéu on Saturday.

Leicester City have shown a remarkable ability to defy the odds after enchanted the sporting world last year with their miraculous Premier League title win and and the elimination of another La Liga side Sevilla in the last 16, the latest of Leicester's incredible feats in the last 18 months.

Shakespeare's perfect start ended with Sunday's 4-2 defeat at Everton when he fielded a heavily-rotated team with one eye clearly on Wednesday's game, in which they will be without injured captain Wes Morgan.

To keep the titan story going, Leicester must become the only other team than Real Madrid to beat Atletico in a European knockout tie since 2013 but Simeone's side have not conceded in their last eight Champions League games at the Vicente Calderon.
