Leicester City became well renowned all over the world last season after an unbelievable campaign that ended in the Premier League trophy coming back to the King Power Stadium.

Whilst few expect them to canter to the title again this term, their more than stuttering start has surprised a fair few Foxes supporters up and down the country.

They have picked up just eight points from their opening eight fixtures and things aren’t looking as rosy in the East Midlands as they did a few months ago.

But a tournament that has brought the Foxes a reasonable amount of success is the Champions League, which has provided some fantastic results so far this campaign.

Wins over Brugge and Porto have put somewhat of a gloss on this current season and we think the Foxes really need to focus on their European adventure going forward.

So with that in mind, here are FOUR reasons Leicester City’s season is all about the Champions League…

It’s wielded them much-needed success

Whilst it may seem slightly obvious, it’s pretty important to point out how the Champions League has been the only real source of success for the Foxes this season.

It’s the world’s biggest European competition and to be unbeaten going into the third game is a real achievement. Leicester should take great pride from that and try and take confidence from it going into their next European game.

It’s a unique experience

Based on their current form in the Premier League, it’s clear Leicester City probably won’t get into the Champions League again next season and might even have to settle for a top-ten finish.

In that respect, they really need to make the most of this fantastic opportunity and take it for what it is. We’re not completely ruling Leicester out of qualifying again in the next five years or so, but unfortunately, the chances are slim.

For some of these players and supporters, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They’re beating European heavyweights

Say what you like, convincing wins over Brugge and Porto are huge successes in Leicester City’s history.

They’re European heavyweights in their respective countries and to beat both pretty comprehensively is impressive stuff.

They should take heart in those wins, especially with things not going so swimmingly in the Premier League.

They’ve got every chance of winning it

Call us silly, call us unrealistic, but once Leicester City inevitably progress through the group stages, they have just as much chance of winning it as anyone else.

We’ve seen it in tournaments all over the world – once you’re in knockouts, it’s a different game entirely.

Leicester City, over 90 minutes, are a match for anyone – and there won’t be many teams keen on facing them in the next rounds of the competition.
