PARIS - The Leicester City fairytale has another chapter after they eased to a 3-0 away win in their Champions League debut on Wednesday, as Monaco beat Tottenham at Wembley in front of a record crowd for an English club. But the headlines will all be about Leicester, who stunned the football world last season when they went from relegation candidates to Premier League champions in the space of 12 miraculous months. Tottenham are back in the Champions League for the first time in five years and, with the capacity at their White Hart Lane stadium reduced due to redevelopment, they opted to play their European matches at Wembley this season. In Madrid, Champions League holders Real had a big scare at home to Sporting Lisbon, as Cristiano Ronaldo -- against his former club -- and Alvaro Morata struck in the closing minutes to seal a stunning comeback and win 2-1. In Turin, Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala and Sami Khedira fired blanks as Sevilla held dominant but wasteful Juventus to a scoreless draw.
