Craig Shakespeare, Leicester manager
Facing a team who have reached the final in two of the last three seasons is a massive challenge, but it’s just the kind of tie you expect in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It will be a brilliant occasion for our supporters and for everyone at the club.
Clemente Villaverde, Atlético general manager
The previous knockout round and the group stage have shown that Leicester are a side you have to be wary of. Leicester are here because they deserve to be, and in the last 16 they eliminated Sevilla. We will need to take any chances that come our way.
The @ChampionsLeague journey continues. Bring it on 👍🏻#Atletico #UCLdraw #QF pic.twitter.com/f6A8us0dPl
