Leicester City's Dream Season

If you haven't heard already, Leicester City have done the impossible and won the English Premier League title. They have defeated all odds and beat out all the competition and won the Premier league title. On the weekend, Leicester City tied Manchester United 1-1 leaving Chelsea to either defeat or tie Tottenham on Monday night. Chelsea down 2-0, scored a header in the second half. Then, in the 83rd minute, the unthinkable happened, Eden Hazard, having one of the worst seasons of his career curls in an amazing strike in the upper 90 to equalize the match. Nearing the end of the game, it was evident that Chelsea did not want Tottenham to have a chance at the title considering that they were shielding the ball in the corner to waste time.



Many people don't realize that this is known as one of the greatest sports stories in all of sports history. At the beginning of the season, Leicester had 5000 to 1 odds of winning the title. These odds had the same chance of coming true as Kim Kardashian becoming president of the United States in 2020, Barack Obama starting for the English National Cricket team and most ridiculous of them all, Leicester City had the same odds of winning the English Premiership as someone spotting Elvis Presley alive.



In all honesty, almost nobody believed that Leicester would win the title and that is why I believe that this is one of the best sports stories of all time. Considering Leicester was in the relegation battle last year and everybody counted them out makes the Cinderella story that much better. Everybody was talking about all the big clubs but this just proves even more that no matter what, hard work beats talent.
