Shakespeare eyes UCL surprise

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.
