As for next season, I would argue that Leicester will definitely be worse, no matter what happens – if they win the title they’ll have a hard time defending it (extra games; impossible feat to live up to; maybe a summer spent partying too hard), and if they don’t win the title they’ll possibly enter a period of depression, as the dream will be over and lightning won’t strike twice. This is surely their one chance at it. It also feels like a comedown to play away at Bournemouth three days after being in the Nou Camp.
The same will possibly be true of Spurs, although they are better set up for longer-term success than Leicester, who average over 28 years of age, and who are likely to be stripped of their best assets by voracious predators. I just think it’s hard to overachieve consistently, and that most clubs yoyo between a good season and a not so good season. Teams bounce up, then bounce back down again.
