    SOUNDBITE: (English) Claudio Ranieri, Leicester City manager (on his players)

    "I am a very lucky man because my players are fantastic. So fantastic. They play with soul, with heart, with blood and they enjoy the people. I am very very proud of them."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Claudio Ranieri, Leicester City manager (on if he could have imagined the season ending like this)

    "Never (did it) come in my mind. It is unbelievable what has happened this season. We start just to, the goal to save the team (stay in the Premier League) but slowly slowly the players are getting better. (They) believe is something special and of course they try to compete with the big teams. But now, of course, we are there and we want to fight until the end. Everybody says that it is done (won) but in my opinion, no. The mathematics (mean Tottenham can still do it) I believe only in the mathematics."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Claudio Ranieri, Leicester City manager (on his feelings after Tottenham were held to a draw by West Brom)

    "I was a little more light. A little. But I said with my heart, we try to do our best and if the others are better than us, I want to say congratulations to the others. But of course now we are there, we are so very close and we have to continue to fight."
