Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare believes his team could
become the Champions League's surprise package after they eliminated
Sevilla to reach the quarterfinals.
Toiling domestically and beaten 2-1 in the first leg of the last 16 tie,
Leicester roared back to win 2-0 in Tuesday's return leg, sending them
into Friday's last-eight draw.
Shakespeare, promoted following Claudio Ranieri's dismissal, feels the
feat stands "right up there" with last season's fairytale Premier League
title win and said there could be more miracles still to come.
"We know there's going to be some terrific teams, as in the previous
round," said Shakespeare, who was taking charge of only his fourth game
as a manager.
"We have to be delighted with the performance in knocking Seville out,
because their record in Europe is there for everyone to see.
