Leicester City are showing two completely opposite faces in the Premier League and the Champions League. In the domestic arena, coach Claudio Ranieri's team has only 12 points after 10 matches, falling to 11th place on the scoreboard and counting down the days to become the former champion. Meanwhile, in the continental arena, "The Foxes" are playing impressively, even though this is only the first time participating in the tournament.

Drawing 0-0 with Copenhagen, Leicester City continued to be unbeaten, pocketing 10 points after four matches, firmly at the top of Group G. Coach Ranieri and his team only need one more point in the remaining two matches to qualify for the knockout round.

With the draw against Copenhagen, Leicester City set a new record in the Champions League, becomingThe first team to keep a clean sheet after four games in their first appearance in this competitionPreviously, Parma (1997-1998 season) and Malaga (2012-2013 season) held the record with the first three matches without the goalkeeper having to pick the ball out of the net.

The biggest contributor to Leicester City's record yesterday was goalkeeper Schmeichel. He brilliantly punched the ball right on the goal line after Cornelius' close-range header to give his team a point.

Apart from the above situation, the match in Denmark did not have any other truly dangerous moves. Both sides played an open game, but the players' shots were too inaccurate. Copenhagen fired 18 shots but only three were on target. Leicester City's stats were even worse as they only had one shot on target in the entire match, the remaining 10 shots went wide.

Striker Jamie Vardy is Leicester City's most disappointing player. It seems that manager Ranieri's arrangement of a single striker has left the English striker isolated and lacking in danger.Vardy only touched the ball 37 times during the match, the second least among the Foxes' starting players, and had just one shot.

Jamie Vardy lost his scoring touch.

Last season, the English striker scored 24 goals for Leicester, contributing greatly to the team's surprise Premier League title win. However, since the beginning of this season, he has only scored three goals in all competitions and has gone 12 consecutive matches without scoring for club or country.
