Former Leicester winger Steve Guppy backs the Foxes to cause major upset against Atletico Madrid

Former Leicester winger Steve Guppy has backed the Foxes to shock Atletico Madrid 20 years on from his own European heartbreak.

The ex-England international believes the class of 2017 can keep their dream alive, ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Vicente Calderon.

Guppy was part of the last Foxes squad to face Atletico in the UEFA Cup first round in 1997 when Martin O'Neill's men were knocked out 4-1 on aggregate.

A 2-0 home loss followed a 2-1 first-leg defeat in Madrid after Guppy conceded a dubious penalty in Spain and Garry Parker was sent off at Filbert Street.
