Stadt Posted 3 June 2017 Posted 3 June 2017 Now it's all over it seems so long ago we set out for Brugge; it was almost like the dream start to the Champions League. A great city, sweltering heat, three points and three goals, easy. We had other great trips too but I think I'll remember Brugge the most vividly because playing in Europe always seemed beyond us but instead it was a real, tangible trip in the best club competition in the world and little old Leicester rocked up and made it to the quarters. What were your favourite moments and abiding memories?
RussianFox Posted 3 June 2017 Posted 3 June 2017 Morgan's goal vs. Sevilla. I screamed so loud that my wife almost dropped her cup of tea. This was the moment when I started to feel "we really can make it!" I spent all the game on my feet - could not sit down even for a minute.
Sampson Posted 3 June 2017 Posted 3 June 2017 Albrighton's goals vs Sevilla and Briggs. Top professional and underrated player and really likeable person scoring 2 of the most memorable goals in the club's history. Secured his name as an iconic part of Leicester's history with those goals.
CosbehFox Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 All of them had some cracking memories. I think with time we will realise how lucky we were with our destinations. I'll always remember Brugge as the day we will really got to celebrate being champions. We did it in a proud manner without being overly big headed about it. I really hope I never forgot the whole atmospheres a couple of hours before the Atleti's games. Sevilla as a trip was full of tension and I loved that a high tempo English team proved far more clever than an acclaimed football side from Spain (they were arrogant from the moment of the draw)
Fox92 Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 Brugge away was brilliant. Our away end was superb - was not beaten all season.

From the moment of the draw Sevilla as a club were sure they would beat us. The arrogance I'm sure did nothing but get the city players even more up for it (if that were possible). I remember watching their manager in his press conference and thinking "I really hope we beat you", so god knows what the players thought. For me, that was the biggest difference between Sevilla and atletico. One took us as an opposition incredibly seriously, the other didn't.
Dan Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 Brugge away and Sevilla at home were two of my favourite ever games. In-fact the latter I think ranks right at number one.

It was brilliant but for those of us sitting with the home fans, it was bloody frustrating. vardys goal in sevilla was followed by a brilliant celebration - was so unexpected

It does for me, the group wins were fine as it was a new competition and experience but they weren't particularly thrilling, Sevilla was the European night we wanted with the atmosphere, the drama, the comeback, tension and ultimately victory.
hejammy Posted 4 June 2017 Posted 4 June 2017 Sounds so cliché, but when that champions league music came on every home champions league game it was just goosebumps! Leicester in the Champions League..... Still amazes me
Foxinscouseland Posted 5 June 2017 Posted 5 June 2017 Not a favourite, but certainly memorable was the emotion with which we sang Claudio's name after the Seville match and then, less than 24 hours later, hearing the news of his sacking sitting in a Sevilla bar - a real feeling of sadness at the loss of the great man, although my brain said poor timing but, probably the right decision.
TheSomersetFox Posted 5 June 2017 Posted 5 June 2017 Sevilla at home was unbelievable from start to finish. The pre-match, post-match, everything.
VLC86 Posted 5 June 2017 Posted 5 June 2017 Bruges away and Sevilla at home without question. I cant remember ever feeling so wired during the Sevilla second half and I've been very much wired before . Was genuinely astonished at the final whistle at what I had seen. And Bruges? Incredible beer, incredible weather watching another incredible chapter in our increasingly ridiculous achievements. Like **** are we not doing it again this year.
SystonFox Posted 5 June 2017 Posted 5 June 2017 Sevilla home. Will go down in history as the greatest match at the KP.
