Fairytale will end against Atletico

- Mr Fixit

LEICESTER’S Champions League dream will be shattered tonight as they face mighty Atletico Madrid.

The Foxes shocked Sevilla but could struggle against a side that has reached two finals in three years.

Diego Simeone’s men can’t lift La Liga this season so will be fully focused on this tie, as is Leicester boss Craig Shakespear­e who fielded a weakened team as he suffered a first defeat at Everton on Sunday.

I can’t see City containing Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres although Kevin Gameiro’s absence is a blow for Atletico.

The Spanish side are no bigger than 4-17 to qualify and 3-10 with McBookie to win tonight’s home leg.

Sevilla battered the Foxes at home but two missed penalties in the ties cost them dear. Atletico will be more clinical and look good at 20-23 with boylesport­s to win by two or more.

France star Griezmann is worth backing at 3-1 with William Hill to net first and is 5-6 (Stan James) to score.

One thing Leicester have is pace and Jamie Vardy netted their away goal in Seville. He is 5-1 at 888sport to score again but Atletico are more likely to win to nil at 10-11 (Paddy Power).

The other tie between Bayern and Real Madrid should be a cracker. Bayern have won 16 CL games in a row at home but are short at a best 5-6 with Betfair.

Real are 15-4 with boylesport­s and the draw is 3-1 at McBookie.

Best bet is over 2.5 goals at 4-6 with Skybet and take Robert Lewandowsk­i to score (10-11, Paddy Power).

Super Single Atletico Madrid -1 (20-23, boylesport­s)
