What If: Leicester City get relegated but win the Champions League

#3 Flabbergasting fixture list

Mixing visits to the Bernabeu with those to Glanford Park

A slightly less serious point but no less true, the amalgamation of teams Leicester would face the season following this combination of events would be a bizarre one. Winning the Champions League guarantees a team a place in the competition the following campaign. Therefore Leicester would be a championship club but would still be playing Champions League football on the side.

England's second tier is grinding enough, demanding 46 games a season from its sides. Add on a further number of EFL Cup and FA Cup fixtures and that total can easily surpass 50. The Champions League would require a minimum of six group games. If Leicester make it to the fifth round of the FA Cup, the fourth round of the League Cup and the last sixteen of the Champions League, that's 61 matches in a single season.

One week Ranieri's boys could lock horns with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, meanwhile preparing for the arrival of Scunthorpe United the following weekend - strange indeed.
