PSV vs Leicester LIVE: Europa Conference League result and final score after late Pereira and Maddison goals
Leicester reached the first European semi-final in the club’s history after a dramatic late comeback at PSV Eindhoven secured their progress to the Europa Conference League last four.
After a 0-0 draw in last week’s first leg at the King Power Stadium, Eran Zahavi gave the hosts the lead in an open contest, before Harvey Barnes and Patson Daka missed chances for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
But James Maddison pulled the visitors level, just as the Foxes were beginning to lose hope, before Ricardo Pereira scored the winner and secured a famous night for the club. They will now play either Roma or Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals.

PSV did not face English opposition until 1980, when they beat Wolves in the Uefa Cup.
They have played seven knockout ties against seven different English clubs before this tie, and have won four of them, also beating Spurs, Arsenal and Leeds United in two-legged fixtures.

Leicester have never made it past the quarter-final stage of European competition. They reached the last eight of the Champions League in the 2016-17 season but were eventually defeated.
Atletico Madrid knocked Leicester out the last time they featured in a European quarter-final. The Foxes lost the first leg of that tie 1-0 in Spain, with Antoine Griezmann netting a penalty. They then drew the home second leg 1-1, with Saul Niguez’s opener for Atletico cancelled out by Jamie Vardy with the Foxes unable to then salvage the tie.

More from Kasper Schmeichel who spoke has won the Premier League, FA Cup and Community Shield with Leicester and is eyeing more silverware for the club.
"We probably aren’t the biggest, flashiest club about but we have consistently been able to mix it with the big boys and have done a good job of it so far," said Schmeichel.
"As a club we have grown incredibly. We are sitting in the best training ground in the country, we have been in European competitions, we have won trophies and we are constantly trying to fight on all fronts.
"That’s where all the fun is. To have experiences like this, winning the FA Cup, winning the Community Shield, the Premier League - these are moments in history which we are fighting for every single day.
"It’s really important a club like this keeps progressing and keeps that hunger and desire at every level, not just a football level."

Leicester have never faced Dutch opposition before this tie.
They have only won two knockout ties away from home with one draw and six defeats in their seven games. One of those was against Randers in the knockout round plays-offs earlier this season, the other against Glenavon in the 1961/62 Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup.
They were in the competition then having been runners up in the 1961 FA Cup, which was won by Spurs to complete a double.

If PSV do manage to overcome Leicester tonight, it will be the first time they have reached a European semi-final since 2005.
They defeated AC Milan 3-1 in the second leg, but were eliminated on away goals because the Rossoneri won the first match 2-0 in Italy.

Leicester captain, Kapser Schmeichel, gave his pre-match thoughts at a press conference earlier this week and says Leicester know what they have to do to win this game.
“I expect a tough game, but we’ve been in tough situations before,” he said. “Just in the last round against Rennes we had a similar situation where there was a lot of noise and a very expectant crowd. We went into a cauldron that was fantastic and we rose to the occasion.
“I expect tomorrow will be no different, it’s going to be another amazing atmosphere. They are second in their league, only a few points behind Ajax, they are a proven team. But for us, the expectations that we set ourselves couldn’t really be higher.
“We’ve got to score, simple as. I think we played well (in the first leg), but we probably need to start a little quicker than we did. Once we got into our stride, we played really well, and it was a very good performance. All that was missing was scoring a couple of goals.”

PSV have way more experience of European competition than Leicester and will play the game with the advantage of a home leg. The first leg at the King Power finished 0-0 after the Foxes failed to capitalise on more possession and more chances created.
The Foxes will find it tough at the Philips Stadium tonight but if they make it through they can realistically start to think about reaching a European cup final.

Leicester City travel to the Netherlands tonight hoping to book a place in the last four of the Europa Conference League. This is the inaugural year of the competition and Foxes’ boss, Brendan Rodgers, says that being the first team to lift the trophy would be ‘nice’.
"To be the first to do anything is always nice," said Rodgers. "We had that feeling with the FA Cup. We’re a club unlike PSV, who’ve qualified for 48 European competitions on the trot. We’re very inexperienced, but we’ll grow by achieving.
"We’re ready to grasp it. The first leg gives us great motivation you can do that. We’ll fight and do everything we can to go through.
"We’re used to playing in big games in our domestic league. We’ve just got to keep the mentality, the positivity, and try and score."

Hello and welcome to live coverage of tonight’s Europa League quarter-finals, as West Ham look to keep their European run alive in Lyon. David Moyes’ side are looking to advance to their first European semi-final in 46 years, with Barcelona potentially awaiting in the final four, but must first overcome a Lyon side who have plenty of recent experience in continental competitions and who will be backed by a crowd of almost 60,000 at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
The Hammers travel to France with the tie finely poised following last week’s 1-1 draw at the London Stadium after the hosts were made to play the whole of the second half down to 10 men following Aaron Creswell’s red card. Jarrod Bowen’s opener had sent the London Stadium into delirium but Tottenham Hotspur loanee Tanguy Ndombele equalised to ensure it remains all square ahead of tonight’s match.
And with West Ham prioritising the Europa League in recent weeks, in expense of their Premier League position and top-four bid, their season could be on the line - but an away victory in France would take it to even greater heights.
Before that, though, Leicester take on PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final tie. A 0-0 draw at the King Power Stadium last week means there is everything to play for as the Foxes look to reach their first European semi-final.
Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho missed chances in the opening stalemate against PSV, who trail Dutch leaders Ajax by four points in the Eredivise, and a place in the final four of the inaugural season of the Europa Conference League is up for grabs.
