In this article, we will explore the highlights of the 2025 season for Leicester City and look back on the performances of their players in the Premier League.
The 2025/26 season has been a significant one for Leicester City, with a strong start to the season under manager Harry Maguire. The team began the campaign strongly, winning all three games they played in the first half of the season, including a 3-1 win against Manchester United in December. This was followed by a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in January, before securing a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in February.
One of the standout performers in the league was James Maddison, who scored five goals in his first season at the club. He also made a number of other contributions throughout the season, including two assists in a 4-0 win over Liverpool in April. Maddison's form continued into the second half of the season, as he helped Leicester secure their first Premier League title since 2018.
Another player who impressed during the season was Sadio Mane, who signed from Liverpool for £72m in July 2024. Mane had a fantastic season, scoring 29 goals and providing 14 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions. His performances earned him the Player of the Year award for the second time in his career.
Leicester City also had a solid performance from their defense, which was able to stop opposition attackers like Mohamed Salah and Kevin de Bruyne. The team conceded just six goals per match in the league, which is a notable achievement given that the league is known for its high-scoring nature.
Despite their impressive start to the season, Leicester City struggled to maintain their dominance over the course of the season. They finished the season with a disappointing 18th place in the table, which was not enough to qualify for the Champions League. However, they still managed to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they lost to West Ham United.
Overall, the 2025/26 season was a successful one for Leicester City, with a strong start to the season under manager Harry Maguire and a strong defense that allowed them to stay competitive. However, there were some struggles throughout the season, particularly towards the end when they struggled to keep hold of their lead over the top teams. Despite these challenges, the team still managed to finish the season in the top half of the table, and the future looks bright for the team.
