Incomprehensibly, unfathomably, incredibly and implausibly: Leicester City are into the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Goals in either half Captain (Wes) Morgan and Marc Albrighton secured Leicester's passage to the next round. It means the fairytale goes on, even in the absence of Claudio Ranieri and N'Golo Kanté.
While Ranieri was presumably off somewhere sobbing into a glass of red wine, Kanté rocked up to the King Power to cheer on his former teammates.
He was delighted for the side he left behind, and was spotted grinning in the stands, for which he was praised by most:
Fair play to Kante! He looked delighted too with the win. #ClassAct https://t.co/j0PLnhgTwT

Martin O'Neill was on punditry duty for BT Sport along with Lineker, Ferdinand, and Gerrard, and when he spied Kanté, he had quite a different description. O'Neill took a leaf out of the Chelsea fan's hymn sheet and called him Judas, before immediately clarifying that he was joking. Watch it below:

Perhaps Martin is onto something, however. There would be no resurrection without the betrayal of Judas...and tonight Leicester rolled back the stone in front of the tomb.
