No one would have thought Leicester City would win the Premier League that season. They did though. Having only one somewhat well known player didn't convince anyone they could do what they did. They started from the bottom of the table, put in a lot of hard work and wound up at the very top with a trophy to take home with them. Leicester City beat a 5,000 to 1 odd by winning the Premier League. That's absolutely incredible. It almost seems mythical. In fact, their journey to victory is very similar to a heroic journey in mythology. They rose from the ashes of the bottom of the table and became champions, just like a hero rises from conflict and defeats the issues in order to become of better person.
I really love Leicester City's story. It shows that even the underdogs can win. All it takes is hard work, dedicated players, working together, and confidence in your team. Leicester City's story could easily be a mythological hero's journey to success seeing as they did something so many thought would be impossible to do in one season. It would have seemed plausible over several seasons of course, but not over the course of one season. We can learn something from Leicester's story, another similarity to mythology. Leicester taught us exactly what you need to win and it isn't about having star players.
