In February, Leicester City lost 3-1 away to Leeds - reducing what had been a 17-point lead at the top of the Championship to just six.
Manager Enzo Maresca came into the changing room and said just one thing: "We will finish ahead of Leeds."
A deliberately timed, measured message with the purpose of spreading confidence.
Three months later, after just one season in the Championship wilderness and in his first full campaign as a number one in senior football, Maresca and Leicester are back in the big time as champions.
But there are clouds on the horizon.
