In the last three matches, Leicester, who were in second-to-last place in the second division, needed not only to win three times but also to hope for missteps from competitors.
However, today Leicester drew with Hull 2:2, and that's it, it's relegation.

In 2016, Leicester sensationally won the English Premier League. Before the start of the season, the odds for Leicester to win among bookmakers were 5000 to 1.
The sensational aspect was also that since 1993, only Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea – the 'big four' clubs – had won the English championship. Only in 1995 did Blackburn accidentally squeeze in; now a similar underdog in the Championship, who is in fourth place from the bottom, could also be relegated to the third division.
In the 2022-2023 season, Leicester was already relegated from the Premier League; a year later, it took first place in the Championship; but last May, it left the Premier League again. This season in the Championship, Leicester had six points deducted.
