"We know they are a better team than us with more quality and experience but we had more heart and we showed character. When you play with character sometimes luck is on your side," Ranieri told reporters. "The first half was very tough and Kasper kept the team alive, the second half was much better from us and we believed we could do something good. Vardy's goal, the England international's first since December, means a 1-0 win in the second leg would take Leicester through to the quarter-finals. It was difficult to imagine we could dominate a game like that in the Champions League," he said.
