Stephy Mavididi, the shining star of Leicester City, couldn’t resist a little bit of cheeky banter with Leeds United following their Championship victory and the stumbling of Daniel Farke’s side. Despite facing adversity earlier in the season when Leeds managed to erode their 17-point lead, Leicester ultimately emerged victorious and secured their much-anticipated promotion back to the Premier League.
Mavididi seized the opportunity to remind Leeds of their claim to being the best team in the division, using it as playful ammunition to troll his former opponents. With a hint of irony, Mavididi posted a video clip of Leeds’ player Georginio Rutter’s comments in the background, as he appeared nonchalant while brushing his teeth in the foreground.
As Leicester prepares to revel in their Championship triumph with a celebration at King Power Stadium, Leeds finds themselves needing to focus on the demanding play-offs to secure their own promotion aspirations. Despite their valiant efforts, Leeds now stand three points behind second-placed Ipswich Town with only one match remaining in the season.
However, Leicester’s victorious return to the Premier League may be overshadowed by the looming threat of a potential points deduction in the upcoming season due to breaching profit and sustainability rules. Regardless of this uncertainty, Leicester’s triumph in the Championship stands as a testament to their resilience and determination to reclaim their place among England’s footballing elite.
