You won’t get away with stunts like this when Steven Gerrard is around.
Leicester City are through to the quarter-finals (quarter-finals) of the Champions League (Champions League) and this is real life.
They join a list that already includes some of the biggest clubs in world football – of course it does, it’s the Champions League quarter-finals.
Already qualified for the last 8:
- Real Madrid
- Barcelona
- Bayern Munich
- Borussia Dortmund
- Juventus
- Leicester City
Leicester City are rubbing shoulders with the best of them after their 2-0 disposal of Sevilla at an absolutely electric King Power Stadium on Tuesday night.
Still to come fighting for the two remaining places are Monaco against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid against Leverkusen.
On BT Sport’s coverage of the Champions League clash including the English champions, Rio Ferdinand – United legend Rio Ferdinand – gave the stock answer to end all stock answers.
“I’d love to see two English clubs in the draw,” he said, presumably thinking he was pandering to the predominantly English audience who he presumably thinks cares about pundits loving ALL English teams equally.
Thanks be to God, Stevie G was there to pull him up.
“Are you sure as a United fan that you want City to go through?”
Ferdinand tries to scramble out, Gerrard doesn’t let him. Gary Lineker puts it to the Liverpool icon if he would root for Everton to go through. You can probably guess his feelings.
