Ranieri led the 5,0000-1 outsiders to a historic league title
last season and they have been drawn in Group G along with
Porto, Club Bruges and FC Copenhagen.
"Last season was wonderful but I want more. Now we are in the
Champions League and we have another wonderful opportunity to
show our quality," Ranieri told the club's website.

"Now that the teams have been drawn that excitement is building
even more and although it won't be easy against great champions
like Porto, like everyone, I'm curious to see how my players
perform.
"It will be tough, but we come into this competition to win
games and we want so much to progress into the knockout stages."
The Italian conceded that his side would be underdogs.
"For this reason we must fight for everything," he said. "I want
to see my players fight against the best in Europe.
"Every team in the competition will fight like champions and we
must give 100 percent to make our supporters proud.
