So Leicester travel to Porto for the final Champions League group game with no heavier burden than their luggage. The only thing to declare as they fly out will be secure qualification to the knock-out phase as group winners.
Claudio Ranieri might even make changes for the game at the Estadio do Dragao, mindful of his side’s position in the Premier League and the proximity of the encounter against Manchester City three days later.
That approach is the preserve of seasoned European campaigners. Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson for example. Not Leicester, who three years ago this week were hosting Millwall in the Championship.
