00:02 Hello to you all wherever you are and welcome to the latest live action from the inaugural season of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
00:12 This new competition has reached the last eight and the first legs of those ties are being played tonight and this tie should be a cracker.
00:22 We've got two clubs who've been extraordinarily entertaining this season. Leicester City, the English club taking their place in what is only their second ever quarter final in any European competition
00:35 and their more storied guests in the Midlands tonight. PSV, whose current incarnation can see lots of goals but score even more. Entertainment is expected that is for sure.
00:48 No contest in terms of European pedigree. It's the 17th European quarter final for PSV. What is that really worth in April of 2022?
01:02 The Dutch club so involved in the title fight back in the Netherlands. Four points off leaders Ajax with the run-in to come.
01:12 They have been goals galore in their games throughout this competition and the same applies to the side under his stewardship, Brendan Rodgers and Leicester.
01:25 Prantic second leg away at Rennes did Leicester. Came through 3-2 in the end. That's for PSV. Well that was bonkers. A 4-4 with Copenhagen followed by a 4-0 win.
01:40 [Music]
02:06 Leicester drew 1-1 with Man United on Saturday evening. From the starters then, Vendy and Justin are the pair to miss out in coming.
02:13 Mark Albrighton who got Leicester off to a flyer here against Rennes in the last round and Ricardo Pereira at right back.
02:20 Still no Vardy in attack but in Maddison, Barnes and Iheanacho there is skill, there is speed and there is finishing power too.
02:30 Number 10 Maddison is their only starter for whom a yellow card would mean exclusion from the second leg.
02:40 Officials are from Slovakia. Chief amongst them Ivan Kružljak.
02:48 Kasper Schmeichel and Cody Gakpo, tonight's captains. PSV haven't lost to anyone anywhere in more than two months.
03:01 A run that somehow stayed on going at the weekend when they came from 3 down to draw.
03:06 Four of their starters change here with Gutierrez suspended. Interestingly, Mbogo plays in goal. Romelu is in defence.
03:14 Tony Madawayka and captain Cody Gakpo are also back in. Gakpo is their top scorer but their threats are impressively varied.
03:25 Madawayka and Gakpo will take their positions either side of Eren Zahavi who is having a great run, especially in Europe himself.
03:34 Lots of goals from lots of sources from lots of the players on both sides here tonight. There is Eren Zahavi.
03:43 Scored three times in the last 16 including the 4-4 equaliser right at the end of the first leg against Copenhagen and then two more in the rematch.
03:56 Two clubs who've been very busy this season, juggling the domestic and the European.
04:05 Kovacic and Schmidt have played in all three European competitions this season.
04:25 Leicester getting themselves more accustomed to the juggling act in recent years. Off-key for a good while with this term but with good reason in fairness.
04:35 A lot of their regulars are now fit and playing again. It's no surprise that Brendan Rodgers has seen his side winning more games recently than they've been losing.
04:45 Let's hope it lives up to the hype. Everything promises a good game with two really attack-minded sides attacking line-ups tonight too.
04:55 The message of support for equality remains clear across planet football.
05:24 As this quarter-final tie kicks off, often, especially when there are two legs, the first instalments can be cagey and cautious, pressure on, nobody wanting to take too many risks.
05:36 Not sure that's going to be the case in this one.
05:38 Only Madawaki already making ground into the Leicester box but he's run out of room.
05:55 He's signed both of them this season and fought back. Hardly any clean sheets at all for Leicester City this season. They do have a good home record though.
06:06 Lost only one of their last 15 home European games, fiercely, and no respecters of that kind of reputation though.
06:25 His toughest season yet in charge of Leicester. He sets high standards. The Stilvoe is clearly still on.
06:37 As competitive in the Premier League as he would have liked. In fairness, he's had at times an entire back four out with injury. Arguably their first choice back four in there tonight for the first time this season.
06:56 All of them have been out long term at one point. Castagne on the left, Ricciardo on the right, Fafana and Evans in the middle. Especially Fafana. Here's Madawaki, PSV, coming forward here looking for Zahavi.
07:18 There's no flag here on Goerzer. Schmeichel makes the save anyway. It's a corner. It would have been an opening goal and it probably should have been.
07:29 Broken from deep here. And that is a great decision by the slow back assistant there. Ricciardo Pereira just playing him on with his back foot. What a chance and what a save.
07:42 Philipp Max, the German left back of PSV here. Everyone in the stadium expecting a flag, maybe even Mario Goerzer himself. It would have stood.
08:05 There he is again. Johnny Evans clears. Really bright start from PSV.
08:15 In the last round, Rennes came to the same stadium here and they started like a train. They were all over Leicester and they couldn't cope with it but Rennes couldn't take advantage. Then Leicester went up the other end and scored. They're trying to do likewise here with Maddison.
08:30 Iheanacho, he's got Barnes outside him and he had eyes only for goal. He opened three minutes, everything we expected.
08:59 Gakpo.
09:07 Zahavi and then Noni Madueka and here comes PSV again. Thrillingly open already, big deflection. Another PSV corner.
09:35 The Englishman back in his original nation. Noni Madueka, look at that for a crowded six-yard box.
09:48 The skipper on duty to deliver.
09:52 It's been a real weakness for Leicester this season, defending from corners. Brendan Rodgers will say, for some justification, that when you have a defensive line-up that changes week in, week out, that's going to happen.
10:05 They have conceded more goals from corners in the Premier League than any other club.
10:12 We've seen out two here pretty quickly. First clearance for Yvonne and Vogel. Very much their first choice last season, very much second choice tonight. Quite a surprising call from Roger Schmidt to play him over.
10:25 Joel Drommel, who started all but two of the league games and has played all of the European matches, Drommel, so big call from Vogel. It's not like he's not played at a high level though. Just not this term, very much second fiddle to Drommel, but not tonight.
10:50 Cryptic responses as to why that selection had been made from Schmidt.
11:00 PSV's first European quarter-final in 11 years.
11:06 Looking for a first semi-final in 17 since Gustav Ings' team reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2005.
11:17 Very unlucky to lose out to Milan, you may recall before Milan lost that extraordinary final to Liverpool.
11:25 It's a long time. It's a club with a rich European history, just not recently for the current generation of younger fans anyway.
11:41 Rarely charted territory for Leicester City. Their only other European quarter-final came when they were the reigning champions of England five years ago.
11:52 Flags up this time on Gakpo.
12:00 Already having his best career season for goals. Top in the league.
12:06 Seven in Europe.
12:10 Including incidentally two equalisers in the same game against Copenhagen. The first leg of their last 16 tie.
12:17 Extraordinary. They just kept on coming back.
12:20 Tying it at 4-4 at the end. They were never ahead.
12:25 Before they powered past the Danes.
12:28 In Denmark actually.
12:30 4-0.
12:32 As I mentioned, no respect for their home comforts for their opponents. The 4-4 was in Eindhoven.
12:38 Which is where these two will meet of course a week from now.
12:42 Keane and Jusbri Hall here.
12:45 Finding Harvey Barnes. Barely had a touch so far. Leicester have barely had an attacking touch so far but they've won it high here with Iheanacho.
12:54 Barnes, Iheanacho.
12:57 Neatly done, Maddison who's got quick feet.
13:02 Very calmly dealt with by Nohema Sangare.
13:19 PSV began this season in European terms in the Champions League.
13:25 Giving away a foul here. Free kick. Gertzer on Tielemans.
13:32 Just on that.
13:34 Mario Gertzer, like Cody Gakpo, would miss the second leg were he to be cautioned.
13:40 No card shown for that challenge though.
13:43 They began in the Champions League playoff. They lost 2-1 to Benfica.
13:47 Went into the Europa League where they won, drew and lost 2 games each in a group with Monaco, Sturm Graz and Sociedad.
13:57 Eventually they lost at Sociedad on the final night so they didn't get through the group.
14:01 The third place got them into this competition.
14:06 Champions League, Europa League and Conference all in the same campaign.
14:11 All trying to win the Dutch title.
14:15 All brightening to Ian Atcher. Tielemans who Leicester will need on the ball more than he has been thus far.
14:22 Got their players a little higher up the field here. Kastanien to Barnes on to Dewsbury Hall.
14:27 Neatly done.
14:29 Cynical challenge, Leicester free kick.
14:33 Dewsbury Hall asking the question about whether that ought to be a yellow card.
14:40 That's given against Joey Viermann.
14:48 A couple of young players there coming together. This has been a real breakthrough campaign.
14:53 Dewsbury Hall in terms of coming through Leicester's system for Viermann.
14:58 Came across in the January window from Heron Vane.
15:01 Making the step up. Maybe a first test here for N'Bogo.
15:08 Delivering towards Fofana.
15:12 Tielemans can hit them from distance but there was no angle then.
15:16 And his cross deflects off Mario Goetze and Leicester have a corner.
15:20 Really good opening ten minutes here. Every bit as bright and busy as we would have expected.
15:28 [CROWD CHANTING]
15:49 Near post flick. Romaglio with a big bit of defending there.
15:53 Might just have been glancing wide but you never know who was lurking on the far post as Maddison plays it back in.
15:59 Out by Sangare.
16:04 Maduike couldn't handle the bounce.
16:11 Leicester fans making themselves heard will hope that they've seen off that early mini storm from PSV who certainly came out flying.
16:21 What a chance for Goetze.
16:25 Could do well to get a better one than that. Even across three hours of attacking football.
16:29 We shall see. Here's Fofana.
16:33 Making up for lost time, Wesley Fofana.
16:39 Broken leg in a pre-season game.
16:42 He didn't start for Leicester City until the away leg of the last round in this competition at Rennes.
16:49 And he marked it with a goal and ran all the way to Brendan Rodgers.
16:56 Fine young defender.
16:59 Bought as much for the future as anything but last season ended up playing a lot.
17:03 As they've had a long time of injury issues.
17:06 Leicester. Schmeichel couldn't risk getting that one all the way into his box.
17:35 Pogba going long.
17:37 Go on, go on.
17:39 Go on, go on.
17:41 Go on, go on.
18:09 Fofana again with PSV just holding off the press for now.
18:21 Harvey Barnes well shackled so far by the Brazilian, Mauro Júnior.
18:26 Harvey Barnes wants to get running down that left flank.
18:31 Quick, skillful player with an eye for goal.
18:35 Malafite, his threat. PSV in this 13 minutes, long way to go.
18:40 Sangare to Andre Romaglia.
18:46 Once a Leverkusen like his boss, Lukas Schmidt.
18:50 Another OK tackle but picks it back up again.
18:56 Leicester ball.
19:04 Excellent hold-up play from the centre-forward, Ian Atchell.
19:07 [APPLAUSE]
19:36 Albrighton finding Madison.
19:38 Albrighton again, fine cross through the ball.
19:40 Goes short to Tielemans here.
19:42 He was on the stretch of fairness, wasn't the best pass for him from Mark Albrighton.
19:51 Sangare under pressure.
19:53 Great take from Madawaki. The ball's on for Gakpo, he's overheard it.
19:57 It was definitely there to be played, wasn't it?
20:00 They do link up so well, this front three.
20:15 Gerdtsa.
20:16 It's a Harvey.
20:18 Sangare took a risk.
20:20 Madison wins it twice over.
20:22 Another part of his game he's famed for, James Madison in fairness, but he did that very well.
20:40 Ian Atchell to give and go with Barnes as Dewsbury Hall takes over.
20:44 Super cross really.
20:46 Can't ask much more of your crosser than that.
20:49 No one there to finish it off for Leicester though.
21:03 Now Albrighton.
21:06 Castagne the left-back tacking in trying to attack it.
21:09 And now trying to get back as Noni Madawaki is on the run here, the right wing.
21:13 He's passed Evans.
21:15 Too young and too quick for him, so Harvey's up with him.
21:18 That's quite a gallop from Madawaki.
21:20 Gakpo takes over.
21:24 And here's three looking ambitious again.
21:26 Leicester crowd him out.
21:29 [Cheering]
21:33 [Cheering]
21:37 [Cheering]
22:05 Dewsbury Hall.
22:07 And again, Castagne.
22:10 Jürg Thielens.
22:12 Now Fafana.
22:18 Even game.
22:19 Both looking evenly dangerous thus far.
22:36 [Cheering]
22:39 First chance for Harvey Barnes to get running.
22:56 And you heard the roar.
22:58 The Leicester crowd.
23:03 Dewsbury Hall does well to win it.
23:05 Thielens can't win that one ahead of Sangare though.
23:08 [Cheering]
23:12 [Cheering]
23:39 Counterattack is on.
23:41 Philip Mack's coming now to help Gakpo.
23:43 He goes the other way.
23:44 Zaha Harvey.
23:46 He runs into the hugely experienced Johnny Evans.
23:50 [Cheering]
23:53 Genuine defender's defender, Johnny Evans.
23:57 Dangerous ball for Iheanacho.
23:59 Well watched.
24:00 Roscalia's won the free kick.
24:02 [Cheering]
24:07 He's getting a run in the side, Kelechi Iheanacho.
24:09 He's not had a lot of goal scoring opportunities this season.
24:12 Jamie Vardy's absence gives him that opportunity here.
24:15 Scored against Manchester United at the weekend.
24:21 Only his third goal in the Premier League.
24:23 And he's played 20 times, half from the bench in fairness.
24:31 Won in Europe.
24:34 Here against Rennes in the last round.
24:36 He's got three goals in domestic cup competitions.
24:39 Including the one that beat Manchester City, his former club.
24:44 The curtain raiser.
24:46 The community shield at Wembley at the start of the season.
24:49 And he might be in here, Iheanacho.
24:51 He's got goal side of Romaglio.
24:53 Big chance.
24:54 And he's missed it.
24:55 Just like Götze at the other end.
24:57 What an opportunity.
25:04 [Cheering]
25:07 Should have added to that tally, shouldn't he?
25:11 Dewsbury Hall with the excellent interception that made it possible.
25:15 He went for the cheeky chip.
25:17 He would love to have that opportunity again.
25:21 It's not even close by the end, really.
25:24 [Cheering]
25:30 [Cheering]
25:33 His name being sung.
25:41 The home faithful.
25:44 Forward by Sankari.
25:51 Götze onside.
25:53 Lots of support as usual.
25:57 They do attack in number, both these sides in fairness.
26:00 Vierman to Mauro Júnior.
26:07 [Cheering]
26:10 Noni Maduokai.
26:29 Well off target in the end.
26:34 Got one in the last round, Noni Maduokai.
26:36 You have so many...
26:40 ...offering threats though.
26:43 Such a spread.
26:44 Such a useful thing to have in any squad.
26:46 They've got 13 players, PSV, who've scored three or more goals in the Eredivisie this season.
26:54 Extraordinarily high number, that.
26:57 Four points behind Ajax they are, incidentally.
27:03 Both have six to play and they meet later this month in Eindhoven.
27:07 Will PSV still be in Europe?
27:09 That's the question.
27:11 Every chance.
27:14 It really could be...
27:19 ...a glorious campaign for them and Roger Schmidt.
27:23 Imagine that, tipping Ajax to the title and...
27:26 ...winning the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League.
27:33 They're going to have to beat Ajax and hope they make one more slip for that to happen.
27:37 Which is why their weekend result was so important.
27:44 Incredible game.
27:45 PSV three down they were to FC Twente after 25 minutes.
27:50 But by the 94th when...
27:53 ...Olivier Boschali scored it was 3-0.
27:57 3-0.
27:58 Here's Maddison.
28:07 Lovely way to pass for Ricardo Pereira.
28:10 Well challenged by Boschali.
28:15 Good football all round there.
28:17 Halfway through the first half Leicester City, the home side, have another corner.
28:21 A game that hasn't got a goal yet but could easily and should really have had a couple.
28:26 Ian Accio in the middle was hoping for something across the six yard box.
28:30 Boschali's challenge made sure it didn't happen.
28:33 Michael Breitner.
28:35 Generally a really consistent deliverer.
28:39 Either from open play or the dead ball.
28:42 He's found the head of Castagna.
28:45 Tielemans.
28:47 Who might be one of the few players on this field with the technique to pull off a shot as ambitious as that.
28:53 Didn't get it right on that occasion.
28:55 It's a long range from Tielemans that won Brendan Rodgers...
29:05 ...his first English silverware.
29:09 Last season when they beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
29:13 Wonderful blast from outside the area from Yuri Tielemans enough...
29:18 ...to win that Wembley showpiece.
29:22 Can Rodgers lead Leicester to what would be their first ever European semi-final?
29:25 That was their first FA Cup win.
29:33 They're making history all the time.
29:35 Why not another slice of it here?
29:39 What a great shot from the back.

40:05 Didn't quite break for Castaño again, he'd run beyond.
40:11 Left back in a four, Timothy Castaño,
40:16 but spotted being a left wing-back for Atalanta.
40:21 Anybody who ever watches them play knows how key the wing-backs were.
40:26 Steven Gerrard in the middle of your picture there,
40:33 with his long-term assistant and former Liverpool midfield colleague,
40:37 Gary McAllister.
40:38 Former club Rangers...
40:43 (WHISTLE BLOWS)
40:45 ..in European action tonight.
40:49 Previously former club Liverpool doing rather well in Europe too,
40:55 you may have noticed.
40:57 Scouting job.
41:02 For the coaching duo now of Aston Villa.

41:54 Emalio with the header down to Max.
41:56 Well defended, Sengar.
42:21 TSV every bit as good...
42:23 ..away as they are at home.
42:26 They've got three home games coming up after this.
42:28 We've got a cup match with Ajax as well.
42:33 Here's Maddison.
42:35 Big game after big game when you're up near the top,
42:39 but not expected necessarily to overhaul Ajax...
42:43 ..in league terms.
42:45 It's not impossible.
42:51 (CROWD CHANTING)
42:53 Leicester's concerns,
42:59 and they're all about this competition, really,
43:01 are going to have a slightly disappointing
43:03 below-par mid-table finish in the Premier League.
43:05 They are no longer...
43:07 ..actively defending their FA Cup title.
43:10 That's reached the semi-final stage without the minute.
43:13 Here's Dewsbury Hall...
43:14 ..on for Iheanacho.
43:19 Nicely done. Maddison...
43:20 ..couldn't get the power,
43:23 and a defensive touch took what power there was out of the shot anyway,
43:27 but it was nicely worked by Rodgers' side.
43:30 Simplest of saves for Mbogo, who's not been overly tested yet.
43:34 I think in this half an hour here,
43:40 you'll see why Kinn and Dewsbury Hall...
43:42 ..has nailed himself down a regular starting place,
43:47 having come through the Leicester Academy.
43:49 Tenacious, he's won the ball high up for them,
43:55 prompting attacks.
43:56 Very promising young midfielder.
44:17 (CROWD CHANTING)
44:19 Max just over-stretching it.
44:38 Iheanacho, excellent touch.
44:40 His link-up play tonight has been brilliant, Kelechi Iheanacho.
44:44 Barnes coming in off that flank.
44:46 See, Kostanjan still up, the left-back,
44:58 and then amongst the attack.
45:00 Confident, went on the ball, Leicester.
45:06 Happy to leave the experience of Evans
45:09 and the pace for Kinn.
45:12 Pace for Kovanec.
45:14 The only real defensive options.
45:16 Now they'll go back, and they'll have to,
45:18 because Nani Maduaka is on the run.
45:20 Another excellent tackle by Dewsbury Hall,
45:22 who's had a fab 40 minutes here, the youngster.
45:25 Tielemans.
45:26 Maddison to Iheanacho.
45:33 See, it's what less to do with their full-back,
45:36 because Ricardo's bombed on here.
45:38 His pass has found Maddison again.
45:41 It's neat, and it's intricate from Leicester.
45:44 Five minutes to half-time, Albrighton with a chance
45:47 to deliver his usual quality.
45:49 Cody Gakpo back making the block.
45:53 Free kick.
45:59 With a contact on James Maddison.
46:02 Very good.
46:03 Picture of innocence.
46:10 Trot on his foot.
46:12 He's scored a couple of goals in Europe this season,
46:21 including one in the last game against Copenhagen.
46:24 Should have scored here.
46:29 Now James Maddison, something of a free kick artist.
46:40 This was more favour a left foot or a cross from the right,
46:43 but you never know.
46:44 Talented player.
46:46 He's gone for the cross.
46:52 It's a decent one as well in towards Fafana.
46:54 Awkward height for the youngster.
47:00 Defensive job done.
47:03 And again by Cody Gakpo, who got there
47:07 ahead of Fafana.
47:09 Probably would have hit him somewhere in the rib cage, I think.
47:15 Corner is the second thrice.
47:20 Leicester's third with this first leg.
47:25 Good play.
47:30 Perfectly solid performance so far.
47:35 And he'll know that...
47:37 He'll have a bit of a spotlight on him,
47:40 perhaps more so if he was at home, actually.
47:43 I presume he's got the nod for tonight if he plays
47:49 well enough that he would play again a week from now.
47:52 We shall see.
47:55 We shall see.
48:23 Herrera down with Sangare.
48:24 Play goes on.
48:25 And Maddison, for once, is a long way off
48:28 on a sort of pass he would normally
48:31 complete satisfactorily more often than not.
48:35 Sangare now.
48:37 Rangy, deep-lying central midfielder,
48:40 but even he will go and join the attack on occasion.
48:42 And he's doing it now.
48:43 Maro Jr. off and running. Noni Maduake.
48:45 Beautifully done into Zahavi.
48:51 He was trying that cheeky little lay-off.
48:53 Worth a try, I think, there.
48:57 Didn't work, though.
48:58 That's a good ball.
49:00 And so is that.
49:01 Ian Acho to Dewsbury Hall.
49:03 Gonna have to wait for help.
49:05 Suddenly four blue shirts in the box.
49:07 Skin and Dewsbury Hall into Harvey Barnes.
49:09 Neatly done.
49:11 Barnes!
49:12 What a goal it should have been and so nearly was.
49:20 Absolutely brilliant move from Leicester City.
49:23 Deserved a goal.
49:25 Fabulous football.
49:49 Brendan Rodgers would have been purring about that on the touchline.
49:52 Shot used to look good when it left the boot.
49:55 Meanwhile, though, at the other end,
49:57 Noni Maduake on another languid and dangerous-looking slalom run.
50:02 Cody Gakpo takes aim from a long way out.
50:05 Honestly, the final was right with him.
50:08 Dewsbury Hall, Telemans.
50:15 Dewsbury Hall again.
50:18 Well, it was bright and sharp.
50:21 As we expected.
50:24 But no goals, as we expected.
50:27 Harvey Barnes couldn't have come much closer
50:29 on the end of that wonderful move right at the end.
50:32 Right at the start of the half,
50:33 Mario Götze found himself in oceans of space
50:37 but was denied by Schmeichel.
50:39 In between, Ian Acho to Dewsbury Hall.
50:42 And the goalkeeper,
50:43 in oceans of space but was denied by Schmeichel.
50:45 In between, Ian Acho's gone close as well.
50:48 A tie that promised slots of action has delivered that,
50:51 but no goals yet.
50:52 It's Leicester City 0-0, PSV 0-0,
50:55 with 45 played in this first leg.
50:58 (audience laughing)
