Sevilla manager Jorge Sampaoli fires warning shot at Leicester, insisting 'we'll play for our lives on Wednesday'

Sevilla manager Jorge Sampaoli insists 'we'll play for our lives' against Leicester in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Argentine boss saw his side beat Eibar 2-0 in La Liga on Saturday thanks to goals from Pablo Sarabia and Vitolo but after the game he admitted that their opponents made it tough for them to play.

However, Sampaoli will be quietly confident that his side can gain an advantage from the last 16 first-leg clash with Leicester at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
