Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli says Leicester's stunning Premier League title triumph means nothing this season, reports Sky Sports.
The Foxes are yet to win a Premier League game in 2017, have failed to score in their last six top-flight matches and were knocked out of the FA Cup by League One side Millwall on Saturday.
"We're not talking about the team that won a league miraculously, you have to live in the now," said the former Chile boss. "So last year Leicester won the league but right now they are fighting relegation.
"The present matters the most. [Claudio] Ranieri got so much from the team last year with so little but now he is struggling, the past doesn't matter, even when you have done something as miraculous as he did.
"I think Leicester are not having a good time in the league, they have a lot of doubts when last year they had so much belief. They were brilliant in the league last year and have been great in the Champions League, they qualified very quickly so in a two-legged tie it still poses a lot of risks for us."
