Chapecoense were considered by some a fairy tale club given their humble origins, much like Premier League Champions Leicester, whom the Brazilians challenged to a friendly earlier this year in the following tweet:
Hey @LCFC, we are crazy with you! Congrats for your campaign in @premierleague! What about a friendly match in Brazil? ?? #Leicester
