The betting odds suggest it will be tricky but, as only one goal separates the sides, these football games are certainly not over.
Leicester vs (0-1 on agg.) Atletico Madrid
England’s champions had a similar deficit in the last round and shocked Europa League holders Sevilla once they arrived at the King Power Stadium.
Once again, Leicester have rediscovered a nerveless verve and a spirit and that will no doubt be on display once more.
Yet it’s hard, particularly in the absence of the suspended Robert Huth, to see them keeping Atletico out, even if the Foxes are able to claw back the deficit at the other end.
Antoine Griezmann’s first-leg penalty is unlikely to be the only goal in this tie.
Real Madrid vs (2-1 on agg.) Bayern Munich
The holders really have the advantage.
Their win in Munich, against one of the few sides capable of knocking them out, was proof indeed that they are Europe’s top side.
Cristiano Ronaldo also proved again in the Allianz Arena why he is the top player in the world.
His double, in which he became the first player to score 100 goals in the Champions League, not only won the game but his quick feet also led to Bayern being reduced to 10 men.
Whether they can win La Liga and the Champions League in the same season for the first time remains to be seen.
But they haven’t lost at the quarter-final stage in Europe since 2010 and it’s hard to see that changing now, even against a side as talented as Bayern.
