    Premier League winners Leicester City suffered a 4-0 loss to French champions Paris St-Germain in the International Champions Cup in Los Angeles.

    Edison Cavani opened the scoring from the penalty spot on Saturday, with 18-year-old Jonathan Ikone doubling PSG's lead before half-time.

    Lucas Moura and teenager Odsonne Edouard completed the rout in the second half at the StubHubCenter.

    The Foxes face Barcelona next in the competition in Stockholm on Wednesday.

    Claudio Ranieri's side, who start their Premier League campaign at Hull City on 13 August, beat Celtic 6-5 on penalties in their first International Champions Cup game last week.

    They'll win the Champions League. Up the middle to Vardy, & Caspar Schmeichel will have the most assists in CL history.

    ... might be ...but I suspect the wily old coyote Ranieri will have taken a lot from the game

    ..fair play to the Champions of France who were very good indeed in beating the EPL champions ..but it was a friendly and the score line didn't tell the full story ... we hit the post with the keeper beaten at 1-0 ...plus Musa and Albrighton both missed doozers ..

    ...plenty of encouraging performances plus some food for thought for Ranieri ..

    ..roll on the season start...

    They'll certainly go farther than Utd. Although I suspect you'll be seeing them with you sooner rather than later..,

    All these peeps that were Leicester's friends last year or seemed to be.

    In reality they just didn't want Spurs to win it.

    I don't mind back handed compliments....better than backhanded insults <rofl>

    What pot are United in?

    They'll give a lot of teams a run for their money in the CL this year. Spent billions.

    I make them favourites.
