Atletico are bidding to make their second successive Champions League final. The return leg at the King Power Stadium takes place on Tuesday. "There's a lot of pressure always but we're just looking forward to the game".
Sam Allardyce says Crystal Palace's 2-2 draw against Leicester City feels like a win given how his side needed to fight back to claim a point in the Premier League encounter.
"You have to have that fire in your belly, but you also have to have cool, smart heads at times". "We have to get on with it. We are aware of that but we are still in this tie".
"We need to put it out of our minds as soon as possible and move on because what's done is done".
Benalouane was substituted as a precaution after suffering with cramp, but with Wes Morgan also a doubt and Huth suspended for Tuesday's fixture, Shakespeare dismissed concerns their defensive options are thin.
Morgan has missed Leicester's last six games with a nerve problem in his back, but trained with the rest of the squad in today's pre-match session at Belvoir Drive.
But Leicester overcame a one-goal deficit to eliminate Sevilla in the last 16 and Fuchs believes the atmosphere at the King Power could prove a decisive factor.

But know this: Given what they were up against Saturday, they put up a heck of a fight in losing to the Red Sox 2-1. The 33-year-old has also been walking more than usual, with five bases on balls compared to eight strikeouts.
Victorious in Shakespeare's first six games after succeeding the sacked Claudio Ranieri, Leicester are now without a win in three matches.
"I think we were hard done by", Shakespeare said.
"Musa can still play a big part for them next season".
The visitors then doubled their lead early in the second half when Vardy found the net following a rapid counter-attack, beating goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey with a left-footed shot into the far corner after some good work from the impressive Huth and Riyad Mahrez.
"The 10 days at St George's and the game will live with me forever. It will be decided on the smallest details".
Spanish police detained bottle-throwing Leicester fans, with at least three people taken into custody after a brief confrontation on Wednesday at Madrid's Plaza Mayor, where supporters of the English club gathered before heading to the Vicente Calderon.
Leicester go to Palace having lost their last two games - following six straight wins - with the Eagles having won five of their last six outings.
