Dispatch from Bordeaux. A weird game. So many Leicester players delivered (and some), yet the most memorable of all came from the Bordeaux collective in the nine minutes after half-time, with 21 points scored.

Bordeaux-bound (🎶Oh, I wish I was…🎶) to see if Leicester can upset the odds. Just one win for the Prem sides in Anglo-French ties thus far…
