Leicester's MIRACLE 5000/1 Title Triumph | Greatest Premier League Stories

Leicester City had looked set for relegation at the close of 2014. Barely a year later, they were lifting the Premier League trophy to the ecstasy and disbelief of not just their fans, but the footballing world. Their odds at one stage had been 5000/1 – little wonder it’s one of the greatest sporting underdog stories ever.

This doesn't deserve just 10 minutes! This deserves the full Netflix or Amazon hour and a half deep dive!

[unknownpadawan]

That season deserves a full documentary, one of the greatest wins in Football history

[harrykeble]

That vardy celebration after the liverpool goal gives me chills... even he didn't know how he was doing it!

[adamsting]

Mahrez, Kante and Vardy were absolutely insane that season

[levity]

Living in Leicester my entire life and then seeing this and celebrating at Victoria Park will never be topped

[robhough]

Bought a tear to me eye seeing Kante and Mahrez talking about lesta. Two players no fan could ever hate because of what they've done for the club.

[harrybryan-dooher]

The greatest sporting story of all time, the best time this city has ever seen. What a time to be alive.

[natyo]

One of the greatest sporting achievements in history, so happy for them and their fans to experience that season!

[TeddyS]

Makes it all the sweeter that our club didn’t have to sell its soul to achieve it. This will never be rivalled.

[seandelap]

Will likely never be equalled it really was a once in a lifetime once in a billion likehood of success and Leicester City miraculous managed to pull it off the EPL was created to prop up the rich not to create fairytale stories but Leicester ripped that all up by becoming champions in 2016 absolutely incredible.

[dreisneckdeep]

Still one of my favourite Prem stories of all time. Not even bitter about it as an Arsenal fan. Absolute magic.

[lwandomadikizela]

They will never be another season when a club doomed for relegation wins the Premier League. Leicester City defied the betting odds of 5000/1 with incredible team spirit and determination. Claudio Ranieri deserves credit and respect for the achievement he done at Leicester City.

I have lived in rural Andalucia (in Spain if your American) for 25 years. I am a life long Orient fan but for that season I was a rabid Leicester fan too. The farmers and shepherds in the local bar all thought I was from Leicester! The day Leicester received the Prem trophy they put the game on live, I was treated like a lord, never bought a drink all day/evening. I will never forget my Leicester year and I still want them to win every week even now.

[devitbenz]

their momentum and their determination at that time is out of this planet absolutely amazing

[junwoojung]

You should definitely make a 10 hour long documentary on Leicester's miraculous run that season. I'll be glad to watch the whole thing right away. 10 mins for one of the biggest miracles in the history of the game is too damn short!

As a Chelsea fan, it is so satisfying to see Battle of Stamford bridge decided the title. Hopspur cry

[sidoumflh]

Mahrez and vardy combination was out of this world 😭

[mjktrx]

Not even a Leicester fan, but this brought a tear to my eye. Glad we all got to experience this as football fans.

[fionaausberry]

I knew about them because of my bestfriend, we watched all their games that season together, he was so obsessed with Mahrez at the time, two years later he passed away to cancer, he was only 22, one day I will get them all to sign a Leicester shirt and put it on his grave. RIP mate, you left way too soon.

As a Chelsea fan that season we had was terrible. At one point 16th in the table, Jose unfortunately got axed, we brought in Guus Hiddink and fortunately he stabilized the ship somewhat and got us 10th. One happy point of the season though for me is that we are the team that handed the title to Leicester. We prevented our rivals Spurs from continuing their pursuit of the title and that's so sweet. That Eden Hazard knee slid in front of the Spurs fan was awesome. We the Champions from the season before crowned the new champions. That team of Leicester I don't think we'll see that sort of achievement in football ever again. Nothing compares to it
