Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater is keen for the Premier League champions to prove people wrong all over again on their Champions League debut.
Claudio Ranieri s men face Club Brugge on Wednesday hoping to recapture their title-winning form from last season, having gone down to a 4-1 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday.
Drinkwater believes Leicester now find themselves in familiar territory and thinks it would be foolish to rule out another astonishing tilt at silverwear.
We don t want it to be the first and last time we are in the Champions League, he said.
We are going to look to show them what we are made of.
I d be daft if I said we can t win it. I think everybody would have thought we couldn t win the Premier League and we did it.
If we are playing to prove people wrong then perfect. We are definitely not going in to make up the numbers.
As a boyhood Manchester United fan and a product of the Old Trafford club s youth system, Drinkwater has fond memories of their Champions League triumphs under Alex Ferguson in Barcelona over Bayern Munich in 1999 and in Moscow against Chelsea in 2008.
I was in and around the Champions League at United but I never played, he said. I used to support United and I still do, so I have watched the Champions League final quite a lot from the stands.
The Champions League final was quite good in the Nou Camp. As young kids they used to supply [tickets] for the players and that game was incredible.
I remember in Moscow, I think when we beat Chelsea, they kept us in the stadium for about two hours afterwards and I was raging. We nearly missed the flight because of it but we were celebrating so it wasn’t too bad.
