» Leicester City becomes first EPL side to win first 3 champions league matches in history
English Premier League defending champions Leicester City have made
history as they are the first club from England to win their first three
matches in the UEFA Champions League following wins over FC Copenhagen,
FC Porto and Club Brugge and can now reach the last 16 with a point in
their next fixture.
Speaking to Journalists,
Coach Claudio Ranieri said: “We are the record team! We are in a good
position, our destiny is in our hands and we want to continue in this
way.
It’s good to go in the Europa League [Leicester now look assured to finish third at worst in the group], at least.
"Now we have to go into the next round of the Champions League and we will go step by step.”
“For
this reason I put him (PFA player of the year Mahrez) on the bench
against Chelsea,” said the Foxes boss. “Now it’s right, eh?”
Ranieri
also praised Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel for making a brilliant save
in the 90th minute to deny former Cardiff striker Andreas Cornelius.
“Thank you to Kasper. Thank you to all my players, because in every high ball Copenhagen is very strong,” he said.
“It
was a good performance, totally different from the Premier League, but
that is normal when a team like Leicester plays for the first time in
its life in the Champions League.
“From one side, I’m very
proud. From the other side when I think of the Premier League, I’m very,
very angry. But it’s OK because in my career this has happened.
"When for the first time you play in a big competition, you lose something when you go back in your league.”
