What do you mean we’re getting ahead of ourselves?
Under Claudio Ranieri anything is possible, and what teams will fancy playing against Leicester City next season in the Champions League at the King Power stadium?
The Premier League champions (no, still seems weird) secured their place in Europe’s best competition last month, and thanks to Tottenham’s implosion, now know they are going to be in the group stages as the champions when the draw is made in the autumn.
Leicester currently 100-1 to 'do a Forest' and win next season's Champions League. In case anyone fancies a flutter.

Chelsea faced Porto, Dynamo Kyiv and Maccabi Tel-Aviv in their group this season as English champs, and we’d fancy Jamie Vardy to be able to learn how to say “chat shit, get banged” in at least four other languages before the start of next season.
So we’re going to go wild and say that Claudio’s side are well able to reach the Champions League final, which is being staged at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, on June 3rd next season.
The journey from the King Power stadium to the former Millennium stadium is just 150 miles, and is just a few miles more than the distance between Clare’s Cusack Park, and Croke Park.
So, there will be no excuse for the Foxes not to make the most of a ‘home’ Champions League final next summer, and make a real go of a maiden campaign in the competition.
Cardiff will host next season's CL Final. Any odds for @LCFC taking the 2.45hr drive from Leicester on 3 June 2017? #foxes #savethedate
