In a game with many Portuguese players involved, Leicester beat Légia Warsaw by 3-1 and went on to lead Group C.
Defender Yuri Ribeiro and midfielder André Martins started in the Polish team, while under-20 international Wanya Marçal did not leave Leicester’s substitutes.
The names of Josué and Rafa Lopes were not on Légia’s squad due to injury, and the same happened with Portuguese international Ricardo Pereira, recovering from physical problems.
With this triumph, Leicester went on to lead the group with 8 points, one more than Spartak Moscow, coached by Rui Vitória, and Italy’s Napoli. The Poles are in last position, with 6 points.
