The Foxes secured their first ever FA Cup thanks to a brilliant long-range strike from Youri Tielemans, as a late VAR call overruled what looked to be a late equaliser from former Leicester man Ben Chilwell.
During the post-match celebrations as players did their lap of honour, Choudhury and Fofana were seen holding a Palestine flag aloft.
English midfielder Choudhury then draped the flag over his shoulders as he went to pick up his winner medal, before teammates Kasper Schmeichel and Wesley Fofana lifted the trophy.
It was an act of solidary with the Palestinian people who are caught in the middle of the ongoing conflict with Israel.
Israel and Palestine have been involved in horrific clashes over the last couple of weeks, with violence breaking out between Israeli police and protestors.
