LEICESTER CITY'S PERFORMANCE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

The English Premiere League Season 2015/2016 has entered Leicester City Football Club in the books of History. They are a team that in the previous season, 2014/2015 were fighting relegation but came up to win the league title under the management of the Italian coach, Claudio Ranieri. That gives them an automatic ticket to compete in the Champions league. It is Europe's biggest cup competition because only league champions and potential champions can participate in. Being their first time to be in the competition, most soccer supporters are looking forward for a dismal performance by Leicester City.

The reason behind their thinking is that after the good performances by its players, the team is going

to have a difficult time keeping their best and will be forced to buy others in a view to replace the out going ones, who have absolutely been offered finger licking contracts by bigger clubs. One of Leicester city's strongs lied in the midfield area, where defending midfielder Ngolo Kante the french man did a wonderful job. The guy is currently heavily linked with Chelsea FC who are willing to triple his weekly wages. Their attack, led by Jamie Verdy was another strong for Leicester. Verdy is being linked with Arsenal at the moment. Other clubs are willing to buy him too and are many of its first eleven. 

Will Leicester really do well in the champions League? I don't think so. Come next season, Claudio Ranieri will be parading an almost different team to the one he won the EPL with. The team will obviously be lacking the fluidity and consistency of play. One may argue differently with the view that Claudio had not managed the team before, and that he came and won the title with them instantly. That's fine, but, their performance last season gave every premier league team a wake up call. Teams participating in the champions league are also in the know that Leicester did a trick not seen before and their participation in the champions league proves that they can do something that's unthinkable. 

It might come as a surprise that Leicester may win the Champions League! May be they may do the same thing they did in the EPL last term! They might win a treble and in the minimum a double! 

Under no circumstances can the above hallucinating statements be true. My prediction is that Leicester city will fall in the group stages. They might not even boast of a point in the competition. This remains my stand until I see Leicester busy in the transfer window, buying players with a purpose of defending the title next season as well as advancing in the champions league stages or even winning it.
