Leeds United and Leicester City have recently found themselves in the spotlight for their newfound “rivalry” after Leicester’s players were caught singing ‘Leeds are falling apart again’ at an end-of-season awards ceremony, as reported by Neil Moxley.
Moxley, a journalist for the Sunday Mirror, highlighted the tension between the two clubs, suggesting that there is no love lost between them. Both clubs have had their fair share of opinions divided about them, but Leeds and Leicester’s recent clashes on and off the pitch have added another layer to their evolving rivalry.
Looking back on past rivalries with teams like Chelsea and Derby County, Moxley noted that Leicester City have now joined the list of clubs that have built a long-distance rivalry with Leeds. The chanting of ‘Leeds are falling apart again’ at Leicester’s awards dinner only added fuel to the fire.
While Leeds secured victories over Leicester earlier in the season, including a notable 3-1 win at Elland Road, they ultimately fell short in the race for automatic promotion. With Leeds now facing the challenge of the play-offs, Leicester can focus on their upcoming return to the Premier League.
As Leicester celebrates their successful season, Leeds fans may view their rival’s taunts as a sign of a one-sided rivalry. However, the reality is that Leeds stumbled at the final hurdle, leaving room for Leicester to finish with a flourish and secure their place in the top-flight.
