Leicester City wins Champions League group
He has scored just one goal from open play in his last 20 club games and the Algerian admitted performing in the Champions League brings the best out of him.
The closest Leicester got to a European trip in recent years was crossing the Welsh border to play Swansea in the Premier League.
Following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Watford, Ranieri’s men sit 14th in the Premier League table, with their three wins in 12 games seeing them sit only TWO points clear of the relegation places.
Izquierdo’s goal, which came when he was set free down the right wing and outpaced Fuchs, lifted Brugge, and Leicester endured some shaky moments in the final 30 minutes when its passing and marking became sloppy.
They also surrendered their unbeaten run at the King Power with an bad performance against West Bromwich Albion at the start of the month, whilst they were also woeful against Watford last weekend.
“We have a good group and we work so well during the week”. “We know it’s going to be a tough test”.
“It was a great result and a fantastic performance from the players and we’re glad to get through to the last 16”. Hopefully, it’ll be the win that secures our qualification.
“It’s another journey through to the knockout – unbelievable”. Ranieri has opted for virtually the same team that was so successful during their against-the-odds Premier League triumph last campaign. “But anyone for me would be great”, said the winger, when asked who he would prefer in the next round.
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.
“I think we’ve adapted our game in each match, especially away from home”, Adam Clayton told Boro’s official website. “That means our character is very strong”. Pereyra played very well and everybody played on the top level. “We are good at being the underdogs and giving our best”, Fuchs said. When I was younger we wanted to play in the Champions League and now we are playing in this and we are doing well.
