Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers fears his team may've peaked.

Rodgers says he's still "excited" for the challenge of getting Leicester into Europe but admits that their two successive fifth-placed finishes and FA Cup triumph could be as good as they can achieve with their finances compared to their rivals.

"We're not too far from where our budget is," said Rodgers. "I've a dose of realism from when I came in here. I said I wanted to disrupt the market and we have done that. We have won things - which is great. Progress has been hampered a little bit this season.

"With success, what happens is that you have two fifth-placed finishes and then you qualify for European football, people think you have created a foundation for success but for a club like ourselves, it may be the pinnacle. Because of resources and where others are at, it's very difficult.

"People think we are not taking one of the big clubs in this country into the top five then there's massive resources to push it on. These players have been brilliant in these last couple of seasons. If we are missing players, then that's where it's at. We are on par, as such.

"My job is to elevate us beyond that and push and that's what we have always done: win things, play good football and bring young players through. That's the vision as it was outlined. For me, it's to disrupt, keep fighting and all within keeping the club in a sustainable place.

"Whether that's success or failure, it's all about the narrative. I know where we have been and where we are taking the club. If expectation is there, that's great because it means we've achieved something."
