Leicester City's fairy tale is far from over, at least in the UEFA Champions League. The Foxes reached the quarter final stage of the competition in their first performance in the tournament, and one of their players managed to set a record that will be hard to erase.
Leicester took the lead thanks to a couple of goals by Wes Morgan and Mark Albrighton, and as the game neared its final minutes, the game's referee handed Sevilla the chance to take a penalty kick. Steven N'Zonzi took the responsibilty, but Kasper Schmeichel blocked his shot and kept the Foxes' lead intact.
With that save, Schmeichel became the only player in UEFA Champions League history to save a penalty in both games of a two-legged tie.
ALL TIME RECORD - Kasper Schmeichel is the FIRST GOALKEEPER to save a penalty on the 1st and 2nd leg of a ULC tie EVER
