Champions League: Ahmed Musa’s Leicester City through to knockout phase
“I want to push my players to think about the Premier League now our job is done”.
There may be disappointment that their run of four successive Champions League clean sheets is over.
Three points clear atop Group G and still to concede a goal, Leicester will be assured of a knockout-round spot if they avoid defeat against Brugge or FC Copenhagen fail to win at home to Porto.
They also surrendered their unbeaten run at the King Power with an terrible performance against West Bromwich Albion at the start of the month, whilst they were also woeful against Watford last weekend.
Fuchs said: “We are good at being the underdogs and giving our best”. “We’re obviously going (to Leicester City) with them as champions as it stands”. It is another journey, to be in the knock-out, and whoever we play it will be a fantastic team, another fairytale.
The Foxes midfielder helped Claudio Ranieri’s side to victory over Bruges on Tuesday, a result which ensured they are in the last 16 knockout round, with the draw taking place in Nyon next month. And for their part, frustrations have mounted, and are directed towards the Premiere League.
The Foxes will look back fondly on 2016, mainly due to their maiden Premier League winning season, but also for their wonderful accomplishments in Europe. I don’t know which team we will play but it will be a fantastic team.
Club Brugge are one of only two teams still on zero points in the tournament, in addition to Dinamo Zagreb, and are just hoping for a strong finish against Leiceister and Copenhagen to salvage their reputation in Europe.
Exactly a year ago Jamie Vardy equalled the Premier League goalscoring record by netting in his 10th straight game, a 3-0 win at Newcastle. “That means our character is very strong”. “It is important for us to play and have fun with our fans”. They create good chances and have good players.
“In football at this level, you have to play 90 minutes”, said Brugge coach Michel Preud’homme.
The only disappointment for Ranieri’s side, who sit two points above the relegation zone in the Premier League, was a second-half goal by Brugge’s Colombian winger Jose Izquierdo.
Leicester vs Brugge is scheduled for a 7.45pm GMT (8.45pm CET, 3.45pm ET, 1.15am IST) start. It is a place to get the details about the Live Streaming Online and TV as well as the Lineup of the teams.
