This week, the Foxes were even discussed by Barcelona boss Luis Enrique during his press conference ahead of this weekend’s game with Getafe.
With Claudio Ranieri’s men showing no signs of buckling under the pressure of a title run in that nobody saw coming, Enrique explained that such circumstances are unlikely to ever come about in La Liga.
“I don’t know if it could happen in the Spanish league,” he told to reporters.
“It is difficult that the big teams here have a bad season, we are talking about three big clubs – Atletico Madrid are one of them since three or four years ago.
“We have three big clubs here with Atletico, Real Madrid and ourselves – it could happen, but it is hard to see.
“It is unusual to see the big clubs away from the top spots. The circumstances in England are atypical.
“We are talking about Premier League, the league with bigger TV rights income and that makes possible to new teams to appear.
“This year, in the Premier League rare circumstances are happening, the title race is very open and the stronger clubs are not there to chase it.”
