5 Most unexpected football events of the decade

1) Leicester City winning the Premier League

Leicester City's Premier League title is the biggest shock of this decade

When the Premier League 2015/16 season began, the odds of Leicester City winning the league were 5000 to 1. You would have to be not a gambling man, but a mad man to bet on the Foxes finishing first in the competition that season.

England's bookmakers that season had to pay out £25 million to betters who had put their money on the same, which is the biggest loss in British history on a single sporting market. This is how shocking and unexpected Leicester winning the Premier League was.

England's first division is known for its competitive nature and its twists and turns, but no one anticipated this. The top 6 - Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, had formed a hegemony on the competition. Leicester did not care - Claudio Ranieri's men were a team possessed, and at the end of 38 games, they were lifting the Premier League trophy high above their head.

This incident is unlike any other in English football history, and perhaps it is unmatched by any other season in any of the top domestic leagues. Leicester proved that determination and hard work matter the most.

By believing in themselves, the Foxes conjured up the most improbable, and the most impossible moment of this decade.
