Gianluigi Buffon congratulates Leicester City on reaching Champions League

Juventus star Gianluigi Buffon has congratulated Leicester City on qualifying for the Champions League.

Claudio Ranieri's side sealed a 2-0 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.

The result confirmed the Foxes' place in next season's Champions League, and it also means that they require just three more wins to take home the Premier League title.

Buffon tweeted: "Leicester is no more a fairytale, now is reality. Welcome in Europe Mr. Claudio Ranieri!"

Leicester's season also made the front page of newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
