Leicester City Community Shield history
Yesterday we posted an extended article about the Community Shield history by Manchester City. Today it’s time for their opponents in this 2021 edition. Leicester City won the FA Cup final against Chelsea at the end of last season and now faces Manchester City.
1971 Leicester City versus Liverpool 1-0
The 1971 edition of the Charity Shield was a special one. Arsenal won the double in the 1970-71 season, but their preseason tour conflicted with this match. That’s why this edition was between the FA Cup final runners-up Liverpool and Second Division champions Leicester City. Steve Whitworth opened the score in the 15th minute. A goal that was the only goal of this match, giving Leicester City their first FA Charity Shield.
2016 Manchester United versus Leicester City 2-1
The 2015-2016 Premier League season will always be remembered because of Leicester City. The team that was supposed to fight against relegation but surprised everyone by winning the league.
