Claudio Ranieri’s second-string side were no match for their hosts as Porto marched on to the knockout stage
Leicester City suffered the biggest margin of defeat by an English side in Champions League history after Andre Silva’s double helped Porto secure second place in Group G with a resounding 5-0 victory at Estadio do Dragao.
Claudio Ranieri admitted Leicester face a scrap for top-flight survival following the 2-1 defeat at Sunderland last time out, but their sparkling, unbeaten form in Europe had represented a reprieve from what has been a dismal season so far.
However, the Premier League champions never looked likely to extend their unbeaten record on Wednesday, thanks to a comprehensive first-half display from Nuno Santo’s side.
Silva capitalised on weak defending to put the hosts ahead early on, with Jesus Corona’s exquisite volley and a deft finish from Yacine Brahimi doing further damage before half-time.
