Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has outlined Leicester City as the team to avoid in the Champions League quarter finals.
Leicester pulled off another unlikely footballing story by overturning a 2-1 deficit from the first-leg of their last-16 tie against Sevilla to go through 3-2 winners on aggregate at the King Power Stadium.
Goals from captain Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton were enough to earn a 2-0 win on Tuesday night, meaning Leicester joined Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the last eight.
Serie A champions Juventus also sealed their place in the quarter finals with a 3-0 aggregate victory over Porto, and Buffon - the most capped player in the history of the Italian national team with 167 appearances - is fearing the Foxes more than anyone in the next round.
"Who do I prefer not to play? Leicester, because they are a dangerous and passionate team who can cause trouble for opponents who take the initiative," said Buffon after his team beat Porto 1-0 in their second leg on Tuesday night.
"Against them, we would have everything to lose."
Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare believes the club are capable of pulling off another miracle after their Premier League success last season, insisting the Foxes "might just be the surprise team".
