London: Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel played down his heroics as the Foxes clung on to their Champions League lifeline. The Dane saved a penalty and made several key stops as the Foxes' lost 2-1 at Sevilla on Wednesday in the first leg of their last 16 tie.

"That is what I am there to do, you have nights like that. We knew we would have to ride our luck and we would have to come up with some saves. Everyone deserves credit," he said

"We lost the game, that is disappointing. We certainly are not celebrating. 2-1 away from home in the Champions League? We will take that," Kasper added.
