Leicester City's remarkable season isn't just making headlines in England, with the Foxes historic Premier League title push making waves on the continent also. The latest fan of the league leaders is none other than Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.
Despite being favourites for the drop at the beginning of the season, Claudio Ranieri's men are now five points clear at the Premier League summit with just nine games remaining and Enrique has admitted that no low ranking La Liga side would be capable of the same feat.
The last 11 La Liga titles have been shared between Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and Enrique does not see that stronghold as being under threat from the likes of Celta Vigo, Villareal and Real Sociedad.

"I don't know if it could happen in the Spanish league. It is difficult that the big teams here have a bad season, we are talking about three big clubs - Atletico Madrid are one of them since three or four years ago."
"We have three big clubs here with Atletico, Real Madrid and ourselves - it could happen, but it is hard to see. It is unusual to see the big clubs away from the top spots. The circumstances in England are atypical.
"We are talking about Premier League, the league with bigger TV rights income and that makes possible to new teams to appear. This year, in the Premier League rare circumstances are happening, the title race is very open and the stronger clubs are not there to chase it."
