TITLEHOLDER Real Madrid and English Premier League winner Leicester must both wait to take their places in the last 16 of the Champions League after they could only manage draws Wednesday on a night that saw just Dortmund advance.

    Leicester, which had previously rattled off three wins in its debut season after its unlikely Premier League title success, could only secure a goalless draw at Copenhagen.

    That draw left the Foxes, who had rattled off three straight wins in their debut season in the competition, three points clear of Group G rival Porto, which saw off Club Brugge 1-0 in Portugal with a Tomas Silva goal.

    “Ten points is good, but not enough. Porto are close behind us. We have our destiny in our hands,” said Leicester coach Claudio Ranieri, whose side has yet to concede a goal in the group.

    Avoiding a loss at the Parken Stadium means the shock English league title winner is the first debut side to avoid defeat over its opening four encounters.

    In Group F, 11-time champion Real Madrid was held 3-3 by Legia Warsaw despite a goal in the opening minute from Gareth Bale.

    Karim Benzema added a second but Legia, looking for its first point, roared back with goals from Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe, Miroslav Radovic and Thibault Moulin until Mateo Kovacic levelled for the defending champions.

    Dortmund, champion in 1997, thanked a first half goal from Adrian Ramos for a 1-0 home win over Sporting Lisbon which guaranteed its passage from Real’s group as the side moved onto 10 points — two clear of the Spaniards.

    Ramos was playing in place of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was suspended by the club just before kick-off.

    Sevilla, Europa League winner in the past three seasons, is as good as through but technically can still be caught by Lyon.

    The Spaniards on Wednesday thanked goals from Luciano Vietto, Sergio Escudero, Steven N’Zonzi and Wissam Ben Yedder for a 4-0 thrashing of Group H tail-ender Dinamo Zagreb in Spain to move on to 10 points.

    In the same group, Juventus also missed the chance to go through after it was hit by a late Lyon equalizer from Corentin Tolisso in a 1-1 draw in Turin to slip two points behind Sevilla.

    The draw in what was Juve keeper Gianluigi Buffon’s 100th Champions League appearance going back 19 years to his Parma days keeps Lyon technically in the hunt on four points.

    Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur saw its Wembley jinx strike again as the side went down 1-0 to Bayer Leverkusen while its White Hart Lane venue undergoes a revamp.

    The new Wembley has not proven a lucky venue for Spurs, who have lost four domestic cup encounters and also their opener this season against Monaco at English soccer’s headquarters.

    The Londoners succumbed to a Kevin Kampl goal midway through the second half that left Spurs two points adrift of the Germans and four behind Group E leader Monaco.(SD-Agencies)
