Could Arsene Wenger finally win the much-coveted trophy

#3 Leicester City

Ranieri and his army can cause an upset

Leicester City surprised everybody with their incredible run of form in the group stage. Having achieved four wins from five matches, out of which they had four clean sheets as well, they were the first team to qualify.

The only loss, a 5-0 demolition, came against Porto after they were assured qualification. If there is any team who can replicate Porto’s 2004 triumph, it has to be The Foxes.

They realistically have no chance to win the EPL and can solely focus on the Champions League. The defending EPL champions have a pretty strong squad which is capable of springing up a surprise. Considering the two-legged knockout tie, their ability to score on the counter will make them a team to watch out for.

They are almost an unknown entity on the European stage but manager Ranieri has all the experience to guide them through. Four wins and they’ll be the champions of Europe.
