Claudio Ranieri had to duck for cover as he was sprayed with champagne by Christian Fuchs who broke into his press conference as the title celebrations began in earnest in Leicester.
Ranieri was left soaked and jokingly ordered Fuchs in for extra training — but the manager, who was serenaded by fans all afternoon, insisted that it would be a quiet night for him as he is too old to party.
“I am a calm person, even when I was young. I haven’t been in a disco more than 10 times. Can you imagine me now going to a disco? There’s a little party with the chairman upstairs then I go home to sleep.”
“I waited so long but I am so happy. I don’t know what will happen next season because this was a magic season. After the last match, let me go to the sea and recharge my batteries. And after that we will start.”
The party now rolls onto Chelsea and a title parade on May 16.
