For those who don't know, this is the equivalent of CM Punk debuting against Robbie Lawler, beating the actual fvck out of him but allowing him to survive at the buzzer of each round before CLEAN, FLAT KOing the life out of him at 4:59 of round 5 for lulz.
To put it more into context the cleveland browns are 250/1 to win the superbowl next year... so according to bookies that is 20 times more likely to happen than what liecester just achieved. Still cant believe this is real life...
To further illustrate just how bizarre of an achievement Leicester winning the EPL last was last season - They are now 1 point above relegation, they are in a relegation scrap and could very well lose their EPL status in a few months time.
Oh, and the man that performed last season's miracle, has just been sacked.
Leicester's decision to sack Claudio Ranieri nine months after winning the Premier League made former Foxes striker Gary Lineker "shed a tear".
Ranieri guided Leicester to the title despite them being rated 5,000-1 shots at the start of the 2015-16 campaign.
The Foxes are 17th this season and lost to League One Millwall in the FA Cup.
"It is very sad," said Match of the Day presenter Lineker. "It is inexplicable to me. It's inexplicable to a lot football fans who love the game."
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, the 56-year-old added: "I suppose you can explain it in terms of a panic decision and for me a wrong decision.
"I shed a tear last night for Claudio, for football and for my club."
In Ranieri's last game in charge, the Foxes lost 2-1 to Sevilla in the first-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday, with the return leg on 14 March.
Speaking to BBC Sport on Friday, Lineker added: "Last season was the inexplicable one, not this season. The fact they are in a reasonable position in the Champions League, they are not in the bottom three and given the magic of last season surely he deserved more time.
"I think that the way everybody got behind Leicester was something I'd never witnessed before. Just to toss that all away over a premature decision and disloyal, lack of gratitude, is quite gobsmacking.
"I think they should be building statues to him, not sacking him."
