Leicester City Wins Premier League: Athletes, Celebrities React

Chelsea's late goal to force a draw with Tottenham Hotspur was about as intense a regular-season tie as you'll ever see. With a 2-2 draw Monday, Tottenham officially lost the Premier League title to Leicester City.

Yes, that 5,000-to-1 shot to win the title came through, and became maybe the greatest underdog story in the history of sports. Fans, including other athletes, were quick to acknowledge the stunning achievement:

Surely there will be a movie made about Leicester City.
