Good result. I think Leicester lost this friendly last year, did they not?
Madrid was 2-1 to them in the plum home tie last season from memory.
Maybe it was the year before…I remember we played Sunderland but it must have been 2010. Waghorn had gone back to Sunderland and was playing for them at that point, so perhaps it was when Sousa was in charge…
2-1 back in 2010 wasn’t it? Sorry, thought you meant ‘similar’ fixture to begin with.
