Waiting game for Real Madrid, Leicester in big league
Leicester could only secure a goalless draw at Copenhagen.
Paris: Titleholders Real Madrid and English Premier League winners Leicester must both wait to take their place in the last 16 of the Champions League after they could only manage draws Wednesday on a night which saw just Dortmund advance.
Leicester could only secure a goalless draw at Copenhagen. The Foxes now stand three points clear of Group ‘G’ rivals Porto who saw off Club Brugge 1-0 in Portugal with a Tomas Silva goal.
Avoiding a loss at the Parken Stadium means the shock English league title winners are the first debut side to avoid defeat over their opening four encounters.
In Group F, 11-times champions Real Madrid were held 3-3 by Legia Warsaw despite a goal in the opening minute from Gareth Bale. Karim Benzema added a second but Legia, looking for their first point, roared back with goals from Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe, Miroslav Radovic and Thibault Moulin until Mateo Kovacic levelled for the defending champions. In another match, Dortmund beat Sporting Lisbon 1-0.
