Leicester (UK): Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri urged his side to take their fine European form into the Premier League after they closed on a place in the Champions League last 16.
Riyad Mahrez's goal earned Leicester a 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen on Tuesday. But the English champions are toiling domestically.
"For one side, I'm very proud. For the other side, when I think of the Premier League, I'm very angry," the Italian said. "But it's OK. When for the first time you go and play in a big competition, you lose something when you go back in your league.
"You spend a lot of mental energy, in the Champions League. When you come back a little more down, it's normal. But we want to change this now, because EPL is our priority. But of course also the Champions League because now, in one month, three matches, we're in or out. We are in a good position. Our destiny is in our hands. We want to continue it."
