On Monday night, Leicester City were declared the Premier League champions of 2015/16 following the two-all draw between Spurs and Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge.
The Foxes made headlines in various newspapers across the universe, from the small town of Leicester, to Claudio Ranieri’s home city of Rome. The Italian steered the league underdogs to a history title, an achievement that has attracted the praise of millions of football fans across the world, including important leaders such as the Italian Prime Minister. This achievement will go down in the books of history as one of the most inspirational success stories in football.
As usual, such a huge and historic achievement was bound to appear on the front or back pages of many newspapers across the globe. Here is how some of the world’s media reported the Foxes' latest catch:
