After 137 years of waiting, the Foxes lifted the world-famous trophy to the skies following a 1-0 victory over UEFA Champions League finalists Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Youri Tielemans' magnificent second-half strike from distance was the difference as City became the 44th team to win the FA Cup.
