lesterlad1 Posted 14 April 2017 Posted 14 April 2017 All people seem to be talking about are the negatives in Madrid. The heavy handed police and city fans throwing missiles etc. There were many many more positives then negatives. The weather was great. Beautiful.city. Friendly away fans, food drink and the most important thing good result considering who we were playing and debateable referee decisions. We we can still reach the semi finals of the champions league which in itself is mental as we are Leicester City! If we do get that far then anything can happen! We'll sing it in June We'll sing it in June Champions of Europe We'll sing it in June
m4DD0gg Posted 14 April 2017 Posted 14 April 2017 Bar the stupid peno decision and some of our wayward passing we did an excellent job. Benny and Huth were amazing. Although nervous for Tuesday we have every chance. Hope there is going to be a tifo.
Illusion35 Posted 14 April 2017 Posted 14 April 2017 I was thinking of making a similar post! Despite the result and dodgy penalty, I personally had a great time in Madrid! Great city and gorgeous weather. All the Atletico fans we spoke to were really friendly. We were in a neutral area of the ground and everyone was lovely to us despite being aware we were Leicester fans. Didn't see any trouble of any kind. We stayed in the closest hotel to the stadium which turned out to be great. Walked back into the hotel bar after the game to find both Peter Schmichael and Robbie Savage in there enjoying a post match drink and tapas. My 14 year old was starstruck! We went on the stadium tour yesterday before flying home which was very interesting and good to do before they demolish Vicente Calderon at the end of the season! Got to go in the dressing rooms, walk down the tunnel, sit on the bench etc. Several other lcfc fans were on the tour too, which the guide did in English for us as well as in Spanish. They even had a Leicester shirt in their museum hall of fame! Don't regret it for a moment, even if it will take me the rest of the year to pay off the overdraft I've run up on flights and tickets lol! Looking forward to Tuesday now
Foxxed Posted 14 April 2017 Posted 14 April 2017 Providing Benny doesn't lapse into another Everton performance he looks like the centre back replacement we've been craving for two thirds of the season. Albrighton is of late out performing Mahrez - something I never thought I'd say.
fuchsntf Posted 14 April 2017 Posted 14 April 2017 Well done to you all for just ..putting it out there..!!
foxinsocks Posted 14 April 2017 Posted 14 April 2017 We now have a great opportunity... When we win we can tell it to eufa and the madrid police etc I am reaaly looking fwd to tuesday. ... abd dreaming of cardiff
lesterlad1 Posted 15 April 2017 Author Posted 15 April 2017 I couldn't in my wildest dreams have imagined leicester city in with a chance of a place in the champions league semi final
Vardinio'sCat Posted 15 April 2017 Posted 15 April 2017 Benny is a quality CB, well up to PL standard, and crucially he is comfortable on the ball, so I think he would pair up with Wes pretty well too. My only worry is that he is now more attractive to other clubs, if he still wants out. Hats off to Claudio, turns out he bought a proper player.

Yes he did but for some reason would never play him or have him on the bench

He's lost the weight and a bit of the attitude .......... Let's get off the CR was crap bandwagon can we
lesterlad1 Posted 15 April 2017 Author Posted 15 April 2017 Hang in when have I ever said that. I love the guy for what he did at leicester and without him we would not of been playing in Madrid this week. However Cr rarely put YB on the bench that usant saying Cr was bad it is saying he didn't play him

Maybe he bought him to play in a 3, a bit like Inler. We were/are unusual in playing a pair of 'stoppers', rather than one ball-player and one out-and-out defender.
