Who Said What: The world praises Leicester City for winning the Premier League

The Champions of England

Leicester City are the champions of England! They've beaten all the odds and all the essential 'big' teams to pull off one of the world's greatest ever sporting achievements. As Tottenham drew against Chelsea in last night's London derby, fate was sealed and Leicester's XI were no more mere footballers. 

Here's how the footballing world reacted to the Foxes clinching the Premier League title:

No superstars.
No money.
No fancy stadium.
No excuses.
No fear.
Just passion, hunger, desire & determination.#Leicester
