Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers told BT Sport: “When you beat Rennes by two legs and qualify you know it was really good.
“We were really bad with the ball in the game and nowhere near what I expected, but we showed real character, especially when a lot of players are absent.
“We had to show resilience and you could see they were a good team so it’s a fantastic feeling to progress. It was a great atmosphere, our fans were brilliant too, we knew they were going to get off to a fast start and they got an early goal, but we showed a great mentality.”
On Wesley Fofana’s goal on his return, Rodgers added: “It’s amazing, he’s only been back in training a few weeks. He was exceptional tonight and we missed his determination.”
