And thus, the Great Fairytale drew to an end. The unique and romantic tale of Leicester City, the improbable story that began with the firing of Nigel Pearson's son for racially abusing a Thai prostitute at an orgy, has drawn to a stolid end with defeat to Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
They bowed out with respectability, rocking Atleti onto their heels in a 1-1 draw. After the game, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel, and Craig Shakespeare all praised their effort, saying that they "gave everything" on the night.
One man unconvinced that Leicester did, in fact, give everything was Roy Keane, who appeared for his usual punditry gig on ITV last night.
Keane pointed to the respective failures of Riyad Mahrez and Danny Simpson to stop the cross which set up Saul's opening goal as evidence that sometimes, talk is cheap.

Keane was not as kind to Leicester as his colleague Martin O'Neill was, although he wasn't quite as harsh as Graeme Souness.
