Even fourth place would be 'amazing' for Leicester - Ranieri

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri believes that even a Champions League finish would be an 'amazing' achievement for his side.

Leicester have enjoyed a quite remarkable season so far and it is now hard to discount the Foxes as genuine title contenders as the season run-in approaches.

However, Ranieri is downplaying Leicester's title chances and believes that even a top four finish would be an unbelievable achievement for the Foxes.

Ranieri said: "Amazing! If we arrive fourth and go in the Champions League...unbelievable.

"I think all the people understand we are doing something extraordinary so far. What happens in the future I don't know but always we gave a very good gift to our fans."

Leicester meet second-placed Manchester City in the top-of-the-table clash at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
