I was actually pretty much expecting this.

Leicester dont have the chops or the squad to compete in all these different competitions, I fully expected them to prioritize the Champion's League and throw the rest of them. I wasnt expecting them to sandbag the League into a relegation battle, because thats pretty much the only thing that I think you can knock Ranieri for.

If they were mid-table in the League and doing this well in the CL I dont think anyone bats an eye.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
