The Foxes caught the hearts of millions on their way to a shock Premier League title last season, but this campaign has been a disaster
COMMENT
The greatest fairytale in sporting history has turned into the most heart-breaking nightmare. Last season, the affable, gentlemanly Claudio Ranieri led a group of misfits who just months before had been engrossed in a relegation battle to a miraculous Premier League title victory.
Their underdog story saw talk of a Hollywood production raised, but less than a year later the script has changed dramatically. With Ranieri’s dressing room now said to be in disarray, Leicester find themselves just a point above the bottom three after losing five league games in a row with no goals scored.
