Going the extra mile...

Simon Lloyd

Premier League champions Leicester City are a matter of hours away from kicking off their first ever Champions League campaign.

Claudio Ranieri’s men will begin their quest for continental glory in Belgium on Wednesday night, where they face Club Brugge.

With thousands of the club’s supporters descending on the city, the Belgian champions have decided to welcome their visitors by posting a specially-made video on their official Twitter account.

As well as urging them to leave their umbrellas at home, the video reminds Leicester’s supporters that Brugge can offer the best food and drink around, adding that it’s ‘the perfect spot for Vardy to have a party’.

Finally, there’s also a bit of advice for Gary Lineker. With the video showing the Match of the Day host presenting the first show of the season in his boxers, the narrator points out that the locals in Brugge tend to keep their trousers on.

It’s all very friendly stuff from Brugge, who promise to turn Wednesday into ‘the best party night ever’ for the Leicester fans. Lovely.

After their match against Brugge, Leicester’s next Champions League outing will come against FC Porto on September 27, before hosting FC Copenhagen on October 18.
