‘To be or not to be’ was the headline on Diario AS’s preview of Tuesday’s Leicester v Atletico Madrid. The Spanish have had some fun with Craig Shakespeare’s surname over the last week.
Simeone is one of Spanish football’s more articulate coaches and ‘Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles’ sounds like one of his rousing team-talks. But he is likely to be saving his big numbers for a potential meeting with a Bayern Munich or a Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
