World talking about Leicester - Ranieri

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is delighted to see the world talking about his team's chase of the Premier League title.

The Italian's side maintained their five-point lead at the top and now have just seven more games to get through.

"When I went back to Italy recently, everyone was talking about Leicester," he said.

"The Pope? I don't know if he is backing us, but I do think that now all the world knows where the city of Leicester is.

“I was watching something on CNN and it was asking where Leicester was.

"Then they showed a little map and pointed it out saying, 'Here it is.'

"If CNN are speaking about this football club and in places like Australia and everywhere else it is a talking point then it is fantastic."

Leicester's next outing is at home to Southampton on April 3, while Tottenham – who are second – have a trip to Liverpool a day earlier.
