Leicester 2015-16: the biggest over-performance against the betting odds in 1,170 seasons of Europe's top five leagues, 28 points above expectation. The season after, they scored 44.

1,170 seasons in Europe's top five leagues. One of them makes no sense.

Leicester, 2015-16. A year earlier they finished 14th with 41 points.
Match by match, the betting odds expected a mid-table season: 53 points.

They scored 81. 23 wins, 12 draws, 3 defeats. Champions of England, 28 points above the odds.
No other team in 12 years comes close. And the season after? 44 points.

Miracles happen. They just don't happen twice.
