Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has praised the club’s supporters following their 1-0 win over FC Porto in the Champions League.
A goal from Algerian international Islam Slimani was enough to hand the Foxes their second victory in as many games, sending them two points clear at the top of Group G.
And the Italian manager was happy with his team’s response following a 4-1 Premier League defeat to Manchester United last weekend.
“I’m very happy,” Ranieri told the media following the match.
“It’s our first home Champions League match in 132 years and our fans gave us a lot of energy. It’s fantastic and they pushed behind us the entire match.
“It was important to win against Porto because they are a very good team with good, quality players. It was important to score a goal.
“I spoke a lot about corners and to maintain the clean sheet and my players tonight were very concentrated at attentive in every situation. It was good. It was good for everybody after the bad defeat in Manchester.
“I’m waiting. I’m very sentimental. We have to continue to stay calm. Copenhagen won 4-0 and are very well organised. We must clean our mind and go back to the Premier League.
The Foxes will now turn their attentions to this weekend’s domestic fixture against Southampton.
