Leicester: Jamie Vardy said Leicester City leave the Champions League with their heads held high after falling to Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals following a 1-1 second-leg draw on Tuesday.


Vardy's 61st-minute strike gave Leicester hope, but Saul Niguez's first-half opener, allied to Antoine Griezmann's first-leg penalty, took Atletico through with a 2-1 aggregate win. "We absolutely gave it our all, especially in the second half. They made a lot of blocks on the line," Vardy told BT Sport at the King Power Stadium. "We were in the ascendancy but it wasn't to be. But we gave it our all. On another day, some could have gone in. We can be proud," he said of Leicester, who were making their first appearance in the Champions League.
