“With all the talk of one-team/farmers leagues, and the modern trend for serial winners like Bayern, Ajax, Man City and PSG, I’d like to know which of Europe’s leagues is genuinely the most competitive, with the most different winners over the last 10-15 years,” writes Ben Phillips.
It’s not entirely new for a handful of clubs to dominate in one country, but most leagues were more competitive in the past. The newly formed Bundesliga, for example, had seven different winners in as many seasons between 1963-64 and 1969-70, which has approximately 0.00% chance of happening again. Nowadays, Germany is the most high-profile example of a league that has had the same winner for at least a decade: Bayern Munich are aiming for a 12th consecutive title.
