Leicester stars celebrate on Twitter

Cape Town - Leicester City were crowned English Premiership champions on Monday night in one of the greatest stories in football history. 

While the players celebrated with a party at start striker Jamie Vardy's house, the whereabouts of manager Claudio Ranieri were not known. 

It is Ranieri's first ever league title as a manager, and Leicester's first ever league title in the top flight of English football. 

At the start of the season, Leicester were reportedly 5000/1 to win the Premier League. 

It was simply never going to happen ... yet it did. 

Here's how some of Leicester's players reacted on Twitter:
