Leicester must score three goals if they want to progress after conceding a goal.
Goals: Vardy 61′ – Saul 26′
Playing at home, Leicester dominated most of the match, creating many scoring opportunities, but allowing Saul Niguez to open the scoring for Atletico Madrid put them in a position where they had to score three goals to advance.
The only remaining representative of the Premier League entered the match with an unfavorable result in the first leg, due to a controversial penalty from Antoine Griezmann.
In fact, Saul Niguez’s opening goal was scored in Atletico’s first attack.
Many Leicester players were present in the penalty area, but no one marked Saul when this player finished.
This loss makes Leicester’s chances of continuing to become slim.
In the remaining 45 minutes, the `Foxes` gave the audience perhaps their best half in this year’s Champions League.
That paid dividends with Vardy’s equaliser.
Leicester had 17 shots in the second half compared to Atletico’s two and dominated by relying on long ball play.
Leicester players deserve praise after their efforts in the second half.
There were two situations where the Atletico defender used his body to block a shot at close range that could have resulted in a goal.
Leicester is the last representative of the Premier League to stop playing.
