Schmeichel the hero and what we learned from the Champions League this week

The son of the Manchester United legend is growing in stature for Leicester City by the matchday while Real Madrid's opponents have a lot to learn about good behavior.

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was just a child watching from the stands as his father, Peter, won the Champions League with Manchester United at Camp Nou in 1999. It is clearly a trophy which means a great deal in the Schmeichel household and those memories have stayed with the current Denmark No.1 to this day.

"You grow up as a kid and you see all of these trophies being won and you don't realize how difficult it is to achieve," he revealed in the Leicester matchday program on Tuesday.
