Dilly ding, dilly dong! Leicester & Mahrez take Champions League by storm

The Algeria international netted twice as the Foxes cruised to a straightforward win over Club Brugge to mark their competition debut with a memorable victory

Forget the Premier League — the Champions League is where it is at for Leicester City this season. Following early struggles in defending its domestic crown, the Foxes finally showed up on the biggest stage the club has ever had the privilege of playing on.

The side certainly was a little fortunate, with Club Brugge proving the perfect hosts in allowing the Leicester fairytale to continue for a further chapter. Two defensive errors from the Belgian champions allowed Claudio Ranieri’s side to get itself into a comfortable position well before halftime, and a third finished the match as a contest after the break.
