Montenegrin representative Stefan Savić tonight has the opportunity to become the first Montenegrin footballer to play in the semi-finals of the Champions League twice in a row, since Dejan Savićević, who achieved similar success with Milan in 1994 and 1995.

On the other side is Leicester - a team that has accustomed the public to sensations, and tonight they want another one, against Atletico Madrid at "King Power".

Knowing how difficult it is for Atletico to concede goals, it is clear that the "foxes" must be perfect if they want to write another page in history after the 1:0 defeat in Madrid last Wednesday.

"Before this match, I want my players to enjoy every moment on the field and to be smart in making decisions. We have to score a goal, we have nothing to defend, nor wait for Atletico to attack us. We all know that before this two-match they declared us as outsiders , but that doesn't mean we're without a chance," Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare said.

Atlético, on the other hand, is on a roll, they haven't lost in almost two months, and their third place in the semi-finals of the Champions League in the last four years would be another proof that the "colćoneros" have become a European force.

"In the first match, it seemed to me as if Leicester threw all their cards at the second leg. A 1:0 result does not guarantee anything before this match, everything is open and we have to be careful," said Diego Simeone.

Savić played 25 minutes against Osasuna at the weekend, and it is certain that he will be in the starting lineup tonight.
