Kasper Schmeichel revels in Leicester's Champions League win over Porto after playing against 'boyhood idol' Iker Casillas

Kasper Schmeichel has risen through the leagues with Leicester, and now the goalkeeper is revelling in playing Champions League football with the Foxes.

Schmeichel helped Claudio Ranieri's side to back-to-back European wins with their 1-0 victory over Porto at the King Power Stadium, the 90 minutes with the Portuguese giants giving him the chance to play opposite his boyhood hero Iker Casillas.

The 29-year-old Danish international, who signed a new Leicester deal in the summer, posed for a picture at full time with Casillas as he took the chance to meet a man who was one of his inspirations growing up.
