Leicester City may be unfamiliar Champions League opponents for Porto, who visits the King Power Stadium on Tuesday, but Islam Slimani is a player they know all too well.
During his three seasons with Sporting Lisbon, the Algeria striker scored six goals against Porto in six appearances, earning him the nickname 'The Dragon Slayer' from the Lisbon club's fans.
Now paired up front with Jamie Vardy for Leicester, he will hope to resume his torment of the Portuguese giant as the English champion plays the first home top-tier European game in its 132-year history.
