BlockBuster Final




It was a very humble club and a more humble team. In the last season, they were battling to avoid relegation, which they did. In this new season – their main objective was to avoid relegation and to capture 40 points. That was it.

But Claudio Ranieri and his players have captured the imaginations of football fans around the world with the most brilliant and unlikely sporting triumphs ever seen. They went on to become the EPL champions. Of course you can go on to say that it is because the bigger & better teams have performed very poorly in this season. You expect to see more gists from Chelsea who flopped so miserably, both of the Manchester clubs, Arsenal and Liverpool.

From a team that spent the majority of last season rooted to the bottom of the table and among the favorites for relegation this term, a combination of team spirit, hard work and talent has seen them transform into champions. It was so humble when the team says that their priority for the next season was Top 10…they were not even thinking of defending their record. So humble! So working class heroes! Really put to shame for the bigger & richer clubs out there.

Ranieri's side, 5,000-1 outsiders who narrowly avoided relegation last season, can now look forward to a title party when they lift the trophy at their King Power Stadium home following Saturday's game with Everton. They are England's first new title-winners since Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest 1978 and their surge to glory in the world's most-watched football championship will go down as one of the most improbable feats in sporting history. A fairy tale to be more precise. Their previous best season in the English top flight was a second-place finish in 1929 and their last piece of silverware had been the 2000 League Cup. To do what they have done has been unbelievable and given hope to the smaller sides. Ranieri & Leicester has been different class.

Congratulations to Leicester because they have been superb this year and their underdogs players of Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, Kasper Schmeichel, N’Golo Kante, Shiniji Okazaki, Wes Morgan & Danny DrinkWater. They really play as a team.
