Claudio Ranieri: We're in the Champions League, man!

[Ron Obvious]

This is great. Claudio Ranieri finally abandons his cool reserve and admits they're going for the title.

I was just listening to the BBC's 5 Live Daily, and they had a different take on this interview. They thought this was actually planned and deliberate on Ranieri's part to settle the mood at LCFC. I think they might be right: there was very noticeable tension last week against West Ham after Vardy was sent off, which didn't lift until the equalising penalty. Terrific management by Ranieri!

What a great story this is. I've been trying to explain how big and unlikely this whole thing is to people who aren't fans of this sport, and I just can't think of an American equivalent -- a #16 seed winning the NCAA? No, that's just a tournament.
