“We knew it would be tough. Copenhagen tried until the end,” Ranieri told the club’s official website.
“It was difficult at the start, but the performance was good. It was an amazing save from Kasper Schmeichel at the end. He’s in great condition. We deserved the clean sheet tonight.”
Leicester – who have won three times lead the group with five points from Copenhagen and Porto, who recorded a 2-1 victory over Club Brugge in Belgium. The Foxes are on the brinks of qualification.
Victory over Copenhagen in the return clash would secure the Foxes’ place in the last 16, but Ranieri is refusing to take qualification for the knockout stages for granted despite being in such a commanding position.
“We’re in a good position now,” he added.
“We want to progress to the knockout stages, ideally in the Champions League but, if not, in the Europa League.”
