For the first time in more than 20 years, a team other than Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City has won the most watched and followed soccer league in club soccer. Leicester clinched the trophy despite a draw with Manchester United after Tottenham drew with Chelsea to fade their hope of usurping Leicester from the top of the table.

This is the biggest surprise in English football. Leicester rallied to escape relegation just months ago, had first team players contracts terminated after a sex video scandal during a tour of Asia and a subsequent sacking of former Manager Nigel Pearson.

Their success comes after a recent ban by their most prolific goal puncher this season, Jamie Vardy. This has been their best season since the was founded in 1884. Algerian striker, Riyad Mahrez was also awarded the PFA player of the year title after an amazing season hitting the net 17 times and assisting 11 goals.

FIFA’s new president Giianni Infatino described their achievement as “a beautiful story.”

“This is an extraordinary, thoroughly and well deserved Premier League Title,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron.

With this title, Leicester has automatically booked a place as a first seed team in the draw for the UEFA’s Champions League next season. The stage is now set for the team’s billionaire owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha to add value to one of the purported underdogs of English football.

Leicester has so many miraculous stories. Their leading scorer Vardy was given out by Sheffield United at 16 due to his body’s size. He later played non-division football until Leicester paid Fleetwood Town £1m for him in 2012. His amazing form has led to a call out by England.

Mahrez was bought for £400,000 from Le Havre in January 2014. Leicester’s starting lineup costs around £22m, more than a tenth of some leading sides in English football.

They won seven games out of nine to secure a place in the English Premier League this season.
