Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli tells Leicester to forget about their Premier League title and focus on survival

Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli insists Leicester need to forget their title miracle to survive this year.

The Foxes face the Sevillistas in Spain on Wednesday in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie.

Claudio Ranieri's champions are yet to win in the Premier League in 2017, have failed to score in their last six top-flight games and were dumped out of the FA Cup by Sky Bet League One side Millwall on Saturday.

They are also just a point above the relegation zone and Sampaoli believes, while they pose a threat, the Foxes need to move on from their shock league win.
