3) Musa gives Leicester fans plenty of reasons to be excited ahead of the new season

Winning the Premier League was something historical for Leicester City, but defending it in the upcoming campaign would be a bigger fairytale. The Foxes are aware of that, and hence, haven't been hesitant in being actively involved in the summer transfer market.
So far, five players have been signed, but only one has got the chance to strut his stuff on the field and he has already impressed with his showings. Ahmed Musa has probably announced himself with a nonchalant brace against Barcelona, giving a glimpse of what’s in store for the fans when the season opens.
The Nigerian international came off the bench in the second-half and struck twice as Leicester City closed the gap. Musa got on the scoresheet in stunning fashion as he bamboozled both Jeremy Mathieu and Sergi Roberto to score, before thumping home his second in equally brilliant style.
Roped in from CSKA Moscow for a paltry £16.6 million, the 23-year-old made a meal of the defensive blunders and also caused Barca all sorts of problems with his buccaneering runs. With the 2016-17 Premier League season just over a week away, Musa has already sent an ominous message to the teams.
