What was the significance of Leicester City's Premier League title win?
Leicester City have won the Premier League title. What a night it's been for these fans. Chelsea got them back into it at 2-1. This was 2-2. An almighty celebration, drinks everywhere. And this was the moment their team won the title. The final whistle at Stamford Bridge and the party in Leicester has started and it will go on and on through to Leicester on Saturday when they will lift the trophy. Here is confirmation. Leicester are in gold. The first new champions for 38 years.
How did Chelsea's performance impact Leicester's title celebration?
An unbelievable turnaround. 13 places and 36 points better than last season. It's an unbelievable story. Claudio Ranieri has done it. His old team doing him the ultimate favour today. They sung his name at Stamford Bridge. Claudio, Leicester City, champions. And those Chelsea fans loved it. Jamie Carragher, your reaction?
I think we've been waiting for this moment to come for so long. Never quite believing it would happen. But I think there's no doubt that is the greatest achievement, I think, in the history of our game for what Leicester have done. I think it's unprecedented. I think in the past there's been teams who've come up and won the league, but it was more of a level playing field then. Now, what Leicester have done is give inspiration to... Every football club, every manager, player, supporter, all across the land, that one day that could be them. That's how football has become. It was a closed shop with the same teams winning year after year. You never believed a story like this could happen. It has happened.
And you just think what that could do for the rest of football now. And if it could change, and you see more of this more often, but... Fantastic achievement. You can't quite believe it's happened because no, you know, you're talking about five thousand to one but statue for Ranieri in the morning, it has to be, doesn't it?
It's amazing. Unbelievable is an overused word, Scott, but this truly is unbelievable.
I mean, I think inspiration was the word. You know, you go from James Vardy non-league, you go to players who have been rejected at previous clubs, to lifting the Premier League trophy, it is quite incredible. And like Jamie said, I think it gives everyone out there, everyone, a real opportunity and a real vision that anything can happen, really.
What about the manager who you work with? You talked about those players. This is a guy who at the start of the season was being written off. He was the favourite to be the first manager to lose his job.
Look what he's now done. Well, he's done, you know, he's obviously done remarkably well. You know, from the outset, I think what Claudio Arreola has done in the media in terms of raising the pressure from his squad. You know, I think at the beginning of the season it was, let's get to 40 points. They get to 40 points, okay, let's get Champions League. It's only been over the last, probably the few weeks that now we're going for the title. And I think he's probably just took the pressure off the squad at times and he's just setting realistic targets. And then realistic targets have been achieved and achieved and achieved. He's never set out an unrealistic target. And, yeah, he's been fantastic and fully deserved.
Like I said, a lovely man, an honourable man, a moral man. and deserves it all, yeah.
I think the thing with Ranieri, let's not forget the reaction when he was given the job. He was laughed out of town, let's be honest about it. But I think, I've said about an example to managers, players, clubs, wherever it may be, but
What were Jamie Carragher's thoughts on Leicester's achievement?
In the management game, there's very few who people really respect and think of absolute winners. You think of Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, and everyone else really gets seen as slaughtered, not good enough. But Ranieri's one of them managers who's been around for, well, 20 years, managed top clubs, big players, won cups, managed at the top level and just missed out on the big trophies. And we still don't accept that as being a top manager. Finally, now... He may get the credit as maybe his career's deserved and you think what he's done.
