It is something Leicester will have to get used to as they play a succession of the desperate in their last eleven games. More recently at Manchester City and Arsenal they were the side obliged to sit back and soak up pressure, obliged to play the underdog. And for much of this game they seemed non-plussed by the sudden role reversal.

Atletico beat Real!
Tempers flare towards the end as Sergio Ramos gets all fired up. Atletico get their 25th clean sheet of the season and move closer to Barcelona at the top of the table. The home fans won't be happy with that - the first real test of Zidane's tenure at the Bernebeu.
