🎥 OTD 2016: King Power serenaded as Leicester lift PL trophy
The moment of dreams became a reality for Leicester City in early May 2016 as Wes Morgan lifted the Premier League trophy in front of a blue and white laden King Power Stadium.
The Foxes were crowned as champions on May 2, 2016, as Tottenham's 2-2 draw at Chelsea meant Claudio Ranieri's side couldn't be caught at the top of the table.

The Foxes capped their sensational season with a 3-1 home victory against Everton a week later to kick off the celebrations.
It was an occasion that will live long in the memory of Leicester fans, who, after full-time, were bestowed with Andrea Bocelli's rendition of 'Con te Partirò' before Morgan hoisted the trophy, sparking euphoric scenes inside the King Power.
Will we ever see another moment like this in the Premier League?

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Manchester on Monday to recognize his contribution on and off the field since joining the club in 2016. Guardiola was presented with an honorary doctorate by the university's chancellor at a ceremony to honor his success with City, including leading the team to six Premier League titles and the Champions League, and in the community, notably through his Guardiola Sala Foundation. 'I have spent nine years here and it has become home,' Guardiola said. 'The people, the culture, my incredible football club, my colleagues … it is all so special to me and my family. 'When I arrived here in 2016, I did not know how long I would spend here. The way this city embraced me made everything easy. My time here has been beautiful.'
