For so long, this was a game right out of the Jose Mourinho playbook. Parked busses and dirty tricks. An early goal and a lesson in frustration.
But there’s an old saying in these parts: ‘Foxes Never Quit’. And in their first even European semi-final, Leicester City refused to do so.
Ademola Lookman claimed the second-half equaliser to Lorenzo Pellegrini’s opening goal, bundled over the line from close range, though the record books will read it as a Gianluca Mancini own goal.
