<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">French title winners Paris Saint-Germain brought English champions Leicester City down to earth with a comfortable 4-0 win in the exhibition International Champions Cup in Los Angeles on Saturday.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A sell-out 25,667 crowd at the StubHub Center was treated to passages of sumptuous midfield interplay as PSG gave the naive Foxes a taste of what to expect at Europe’s top table as they head into their first Champions League campaign.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">PSG attacked relentlessly, playing neat triangles in midfield and looking to play mercurial Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani in through the channels while Javier Pastore whipped in dangerous crosses from the left.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The threat was largely cancelled out early on by captain Wes Morgan and his center back partner Robert Huth, with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel having little to do.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But PSG got the breakthrough in the 26th minute when Daniel Amartey clumsily brought down Jonathan Ikone in the area and Cavani sent Schmeichel the wrong way from the spot.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Leicester clawed their way back into the play with several promising attacks, including a stinging free kick from Algerian star midfielder Riyad Mahrez which PSG keeper Alphonse Areola just kept out.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But “les Rouge et Bleu” doubled their lead seconds before half-time when Thomas Meunier, who scored twice in the last ICC fixture against Real Madrid in Ohio, surged into Leicester’s box on the counter.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The 24-year-old Belgian international, who moved in the close season from FC Bruges, played a neat assist to Ikone, who slotted the ball in off the bar and beyond Schmeichel.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri and his opposite number Unai Emery made 17 substitutions between them, largely taking the tempo and purpose out of the second half.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was over as a contest just after the hour when Maxwell sent in a cross from the left, which Lucas Moura was able to nod in after peeling away at the far post.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ranieri said that although the result didn’t go Leicester’s way, the team had gained valuable experience ahead of its first European campaign, although the priority was the Premier League.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“The focus is to be safe and then, if it’s possible, to get experience. It’s the first time in Leicester City Football Club’s life that it is in the Champions League,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“It’s amazing. With a lot of respect, we will try to do our best.”</span></div>

Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, has said it would only release Mayowa Ahmed, an ovarian cancer patient, if her family signed a consent form.<br />
<br />
Public Relations Officer of LUTH, Mr. Kenneth Otuneme, yesterday confirmed that the family had yet to sign a consent form for Mayowa’s release.<br />

“Mayowa is still with us. If the family needs a referral letter, the managing consultant would decide on that,” he told Punch.<br />
<br />
“If the managing consultant wants to issue a referral letter, he will. It is up to the family. I don’t know if the hospital plans to release Mayowa.<br />
<br />
“As of Friday, I have not seen Mayowa Ahmed’s family. However, we won’t stop any family who wants to take their patient away; all they need to do is to sign a consent form.<br />
<br />
“If a patient’s condition is critical and the family members decide to sign the consent form, stating that they no longer require her to be treated at LUTH, we will release the patient. This is the normal practice anywhere in the world.”<br />
