City's World Cup In Qatar
City's representation at the 22nd instalment of the World Cup began on 21 November as Papy Mendy - an Africa Cup of Nations champion - started for Senegal, who were beaten 2-0 by the Netherlands.
The Foxes action continued two days later with both Timothy Castagne and Youri Tielemans starting for Belgium in a 1-0 win over Canada, in what would be their only win of the winter contest. Wout Faes - as was the case for the whole tournament - was an unused substitute.
Daniel Amartey was next up - playing from start to finish in a five-goal thriller between Ghana and Portugal, although the Black Stars suffered a 3-2 reverse. Mendy's second World Cup appearance, on the other hand, was a happier affair as Senegal defeated hosts Qatar 3-1 in Group A.
Goalkeeper Danny Ward was also called into action for Wales late on in their 2-0 loss to Iran, before Belgium's shock 2-0 reverse against Morocco. Tielemans came off the bench in that game, while Castagne started, meaning the Red Devils' chances of qualifying from Group F hung in the balance.
Amartey and Ghana's hopes, though, were renewed by a 3-2 triumph over South Korea a day later, before Senegal - with Mendy as a late sub - also overcame Ecuador 2-1 to set up a knockout clash with England, who had beaten Ward's Wales 3-0 in their final group fixture. Cymru finished bottom of Group B.
A 0-0 draw for Belgium left them third in Group F, while Ghana, who later lost 2-0 to Uruguay, ended up fourth in Group H. A potential LCFC head-to-head in the last-16 didn't happen in the end, as James Maddison remained on the bench, with England meeting Mendy's Senegal.
It was the Three Lions who emerged as 3-0 victors - teeing them up with world champions France in the quarter-finals. The French, though, would win that clash, eventually losing the final to Argentina.
