Leicester City are somehow the only English team left in the Champions League

Leicester City won the Premier League last season, which was downright unbelievable. There is nothing that could top it, but as we head to the Champions League quarterfinals, Leicester are the only English team left in the tournament. That's almost as unbelievable.

Consider:

And yet there was Leicester, getting past Porto, Copenhagen and Club Brugge in the group stage. Then they toppled Sevilla, three-time defending Europa League champions and current third place team in La Liga, to advance in their first ever Champions League knockout stage tie.

Amazingly, all of this happened while Leicester floundered in the Premier League. They've flirted with relegation, hanging around near the bottom of the table and struggling to the point that they had to fire Claudio Ranieri. But despite it all, they've racked up wins in Europe, shining in the world's biggest club competition.

Now the Champions League is down to just eight teams. Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham aren't there. Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool didn't even qualify. But while all of England's elites bow out of the Champions League, Leicester are still there. They're still in position to be crowned champions of Europe, like they were crowned champions of England a year ago.

Leicester really are incredible.
