    Just sitting in a small bar in Alcaniz, Spain having a beer while the other half does some shopping and the scenes from the square of Leicester fans fighting police have appeared 3 times on the local news TV channel.

    My Spanish is not good enough to get a full picture of the coverage but it seems pretty negative towards Leicester / English fans.

    Definitely big news here, and gives a really bad impression of the English. As always the drunken louts spoil it for the majority who behaved well and can handle their beer without turning into idiots.

    Got the Real Madrid game on here but keeping an eye on the Atletico v Leicester game. Could be third Madrid derby in four years in CL final.

    Atletico fans not on the rampage in Leicester city centre?

    How were the German fans behaving in the city centre today?

    Nothing on the news, so fine I guess. Most are, including most English fans. Leicester were an exception and went berserk.

    Interesting formation by Simeone. 4-3-1-2 with Koke filling two positions, moving into the central areas behind Greizmann and Carrasco, but also moving wide into left midfield. If he picks up the ball in the central areas, he can play a killer pass. Leicester need to pay attention to the clever positions he is taking up.

    On the other side of the ball, Simpson should exploit the space left vacant by Koke and get forward.

    They quickly worked out that causing £12.50 worth of damage was not worth the agro.

    Nice goal by Atletico. Fuchs nodded off defending the far post cross.Mahrez should have put Vardy in a couple of minutes before.

    Watching Real Madrid v Bayern. Some quality football on display. Real should be 2 up.

    Pace of the game is unbelievable.

    Greizmann was too quick for his own team mates on a counter attack. Carrasco couldn't keep up for a tap in.

    LEicester now 3-5-2 and now expoilting the space along the flanks left by Koke and Niguez moving inside. The full backs can be exposed.

    Atletico are comfortably better than Leicester but really haven't impressed me over the two legs

    Game on. Atletico are trying to set up behind the ball to make it difficult for Leicester to score three, but are inviting them on. Can Leicester get a second or will Atletico get one on the break?

    Leicester City are knocking on the door to take the lead at home to Athletico Madrid in the quarter finals of the Champions League. It really is bizarre.

    Could you imagine me telling you that four/five years ago when we were beating them 2-1 for fun.

    Shame Ulloa hasn't been on since the start, Godin looks lost when facing him in the air

    2 absolutely dreadful decisions by the ref.

    1. Bottles an obvious 2nd yellow for Casemiro.
    2. 5 minutes later gives Vidal a 2nd yellow for a challenge in which he clearly won the ball

    Not even close to a yellow.

    A.Madrid are one of those teams are so good at defending that you hate them for it.

    Fair play to Leicester. They've had a right go in the second half.

    Shakespeare made a very effective tactical change at half time.

    1-0 to a poor penalty call
    1-1 at home with some great chances
    Leicester did a hell of a lot better than I expected

    Impressive effort for Leicester but Europe's plazas breathe a sigh of relief.

    Imagine the excitement at 1-1 if Atletico hadn't paid off the ref in the home leg

    Well done Leicester, gallant defeat.

    Unbeaten at home in the Champions League, what a stat that is.

    And put up much more of a fight than any of the other English teams.
