The Foxes reward for winning the Premier League last season is an opening group stage clash against Club Brugge on Wednesday.
And despite stuttering their title defence, Drinkwater believes Claudio Ranieri's side can match the achievements of East Midland rivals Nottingham Forest and win Europe's most prestigious trophy.

"I think everybody would have thought we couldn't win the Premier League and we did.
