Vardy: Foxes cannot under-estimate Club Brugge

Leicester City may have happy memories of taking on Club Brugge but striker Jamie Vardy insists they cannot take any Champions League game for granted.

The Foxes only need a point from their Club Brugge rematch to qualify from Group G for the last 16 in their first attempt at Europe’s elite football competition.

And having beaten the Belgian club 3-0 in their first ever Champions League game earlier this year, confidence amongst the City fans will be high come Tuesday.

But Vardy, who is expected to be without strike partner Islam Slimani due to injury, knows Leicester cannot start getting too ahead of themselves.

“We need to make sure that we focus on ourselves and pay Club Brugge the respect that they deserve,” he said.

“We need to focus on ourselves and make sure that we’re at 100 per cent – that should be enough to get us the win.

“We just went there with no fear. We knew they were going to be tough to break down but as we saw from the performance that night, we thoroughly deserved the victory.

“We just need to make sure that we’re at that form again.

“It was massive because it was our first-ever game in the Champions League as well so to get a result like we did and play the way we did was unbelievable.”
