For me it was a quiet evening at home with my colleagues, but it was beautiful. It was the crowning moment of an unimaginable, perfect season' Claudio Ranieri on the night Leicester clinched the title
"April was a very emotional month and it felt as though the whole city had gone mad. One day at a press conference, someone showed up with a plate of sausages. Apparently, a local butcher had dedicated a special sausage with fennel, chilli and garlic to a special manager. The only special thing for me was the amount of garlic honestly, the smell was unbelievable, I could hardly stand near it!"
"Amid all of that madness, week after week, the unbelievable truly seemed capable of becoming reality. At the start of May, we drew 1-1 against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The following day, we would be champions if Tottenham failed to win at Chelsea."
"When our chairman found out, he immediately made his private jet available to me so I could return to Leicester in time to watch the match. I walked into my house just as the game was about to start - perfect timing."
Leicester City's 2016 Premier League title victory is celebrated as one of football's greatest achievements. Claudio Ranieri's team overcame 5,000-1 odds, ending an 11-year dominance by Chelsea and Manchester clubs. The emotional journey included unique moments, such as a local butcher creating a special sausage for Ranieri. The title was secured when Tottenham failed to win against Chelsea, leading to a dramatic return for Ranieri from Rome just in time to witness the match.
