    To celebrate Leicester City's achievement we are taking a look at four underdogs who upset the odds to secure league titles.  

    Montpellier, 2011-12: Monaco, St Etienne and Bordeaux had won the French title as promoted clubs but Montpellier's Ligue 1 triumph in 2012 eclipsed them after the landscape changed following heavy investment at Paris St Germain.

    The Qatari takeover of the club in 2011 saw them sign Javier Pastore, Thiago Motta and Alex that summer but Montpellier shocked the newly rich side, winning the title by three points.

    They had finished 2010-11 a lowly 14th - the same spot Leicester ended last season - and just three points above the relegation zone.

    Olivier Giroud's 21 goals helped Montpellier to the top before he joined Arsenal in 2012.

    Plans to remove restrictions on engine development will make Formula 1 less competitive, says Red Bull design chief Adrian Newey.

    The move, scheduled for 2017, is aimed at producing a convergence of engine performance after two seasons of domination by Mercedes.

    But Newey said it will lead to a "spending frenzy" and will mean "the gaps get bigger not smaller." He described notions that performance would equalise as "quaint".

    Paris St-Germain can become the first team to go through a Ligue 1 season unbeaten, says captain Thiago Silva.

    Les Parisiens are closing in on a fourth consecutive title after beating rivals Marseille 2-1 to go 24 points clear at the top.

    Laurent Blanc's side, who have not lost in 34 Ligue 1 games, are 13 matches away from an unbeaten league campaign.

    "I think if we continue like this, we can go through the entire season without loss," Silva said. "That's not an objective, but if we can do it, it will be magnificent."
