A new XI highlights the worst title winners in Premier League history, featuring midfielders from Manchester United and strikers from Arsenal. The criteria? Just one Premier League winner’s medal. Among the selections is Costel Pantilimon, who qualified with seven appearances for Manchester City in 2013/14 but failed to impress as a top-class keeper. Ritchie De Laet received a medal with Leicester City in 2015/16 despite being loaned out mid-season. Eliaquim Mangala flopped at City after a £42 million transfer, yet still claimed a medal with minimal impact. Igors Stepanovs earned a medal with Arsenal’s 2001/02 triumph but struggled in the Premier League. Alexander Buttner, hailed by Sir Alex Ferguson, played five games in United's title-winning campaign but never secured a lasting role. This lineup showcases the paradox of success in football.
