The Foxes confirmed their place in the top four after defeating Sunderland 2-0 before Manchester United's defeat to their title rivals
Leicester have confirmed their place in the Champions League for next season.
The Foxes' 2-0 win over Sunderland, coupled with Manchester United's defeat to
Tottenham, confirmed their unlikely finish in the top four.
But they will still be looking to go one better, as they sit seven points clear at the top of the table with just five games of the season to go.
Spurs' win ensured that the pressure was kept on Claudio Ranieri's men.
Earlier this week, Ranieri admitted hosting Champions League football at the King Power Stadium would be 'unbelievable'.
As the Champions League place looked all but assured, Ranieri has waxed lyrical at the thought of playing the likes of Barcelona in the East Midlands.
“Amazing," he told Sky Sports. "You imagine arriving to see Barcelona. Our fans for the first time watching the players of Barcelona. Messi, Neymar. Unbelievable. I want to get this.
“Football is a fantastic game. It is done when it is in your pocket.
“Every day, in the meeting before going on the pitch, I tell my players ‘today is the final match’. We are in or we are out.
“I will count them. Sunderland, West Ham, Swansea, United, Everton, Chelsea. Every time I will tell them, it is the last. In or out. It is finished. On Sunday, the league is finished."
