Kasper Schmeichel urged Leicester to strive for European football every season as they attempt to make history against PSV Eindhoven on Thursday.

The Foxes will reach the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League with victory in Holland and surpass their previous best run in European competition, when they reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League five years ago.

The winner of this competition earns a place in next season’s Europa League and though Leicester are finishing the Premier League season strongly, the Conference League remains their best route.
