The game
Nobody will take away Leicester City’s magnificent – and unlikely – England championship record at City, Arsenal and Tottenham last year. The return to reality is however infernal for the Foxes, 17th in the championship just one point away from the red zone. While it was thought to be heading for a season without flavor while securing his place among the elite, Leicester is actually on the edge of the precipice. To the point of passing the Champions League to the background? After an excellent first phase (5v in 6 games) under the impulse of Riyad Mahrez, the group led by Claudio Ranieri advances towards Seville with fear in the belly. And for good reason: four days later, the reception of Liverpool could condition the end of the season. Still in the race for the title behind the duo Real-Barça, Nasri, N’Zonzi and others will not be forgiven for taking an option on the qualification. Irresistible in their lair Sanchez Pizjuan, will the Sevillans bend an English team in perdition?
