Leicester City didn't just scrape past the competition in the Premier League this season, they were comfortably better. By the time the final whistle blew across the country on the final day of the campaign, the Foxes were 10 points better off than Arsenal in second and had lost just three times in 38 games.
Their final points tally of 81 might not have come anywhere close to challenging the record set by Chelsea in 2004/05 - an incredible 95 - but those who predicted it would have to be a record low total for the Foxes to win were wrong.
To the disappointment of a bitter few, Leicester are definitely not the 'worst' champions in the Premier League era.
Since the season was reduced from 42 to 38 games in the summer of 1995, there have been 21 Premier League champions and Leicester can claim to be better than five of them, including some of the most famous teams to have lifted the trophy.
The lowest points tally that has ever won a 38-game Premier League season is 75 and belongs to the Manchester United of 1996/97. When Arsenal put together an incredible run of 10 straight wins to seal the 1997/98 title (and later collect a domestic double), they only managed 78 points.
Similarly, Manchester United's treble winners won the Premier League with only 79 points in 1998/99, losing the same number of games that Leicester did this season en-route to that triumph.
The Manchester United team that cruised to an easy victory in 2000/01 amassed one fewer point than Leicester in 2015/16, while the side that brought a record breaking 19th English league title to Old Trafford in 2010/11 did it with 80 points as well.
In fact, had Leicester beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, which was entirely plausible, they would have finished with 83 points. That's better than Manchester United in 1995/96, when Fergie's Fledglings devoured Newcastle's 12-point lead, and equal to United's tally in 2002/03.
