"Big Five" European Soccer Champions Since 2000

Fun :)

Also see my Grand European Football Quiz. Updated each year. Please, note that some teams do get relegated and the quiz is only about top one or two tiers/levels.

Good quiz. Premier league, La Liga and Serie A were straight forward. Beyond the obvious 4 or 5 the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 were quite tricky.

I might have gotten an answer or two for Ligue 1 if I had realised it was France. Guessed Portugal and it didn't work.

Liverpool will be on here soon! #YWNA

Don't dead open inside

mhm

Nice quiz! Almost missed Montpellier!

Funny how people still say the Bundesliga was a very one-sided league in Europe, when in fact they've had the same number of winners as all the others except Ligue 1 who had 7 winners since 2000.

the thing is the title race is always close but they have an extra edge and win

These are all one-sided leagues. I was very surprised, given how popular the sport is in these countries, that there is so little variation among the winners. Who would want to watch a league where the same two teams win every year? I'd say that these leagues need to do something to make themselves more competitive, but given their popularity and profitability, they probably don't care.

Agree it is a bit depressing how little variation there is about the winners from year to year. One of the attractions to watch these competitions is obviously the standard of play. As an Australian, I watch our local A-League which is several tiers below the standard of these European competitions, which watch primarily to see the best players go about it.

That's why I think the Premier is the best league in Europe. There's usually three or four teams that are candidates to win. And lest we forget the beautiful story of Leicester City.

The only league I can agree with being one sided is Ligue 1 with PSG dominating the last years, but besides that almost every year in other leagues it comes down to the last weeks to decide which team will win (except for Liverpool last year). Bayern Munich has started lower and had to catch up the past three years (although not this year), and Barcelona and both Madrid teams have been close most years in the past decade. As you can see from this quiz Premier League winners switch off quite often.

No other team can compete with Bayern in the long run though, while in other leagues you have at least two dominant teams over the decades.

Three of the five winners won once, Dortmund has only won thrice.

I have done the same quiz a long time ago for the same leagues as well (https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/240351/top-5-european-football-champions-2006).

I have also made the whole list of european football champions since 2012 (https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/240351/all-european-football-champions-at-domestic-leagues-2012-to-2016). Kinda feels to be honest.

I'd like to see AS Rome as an accepted type-in. I know it's not the official name but neither is Bayern Munich

Serie A in 2004-2005 had no champion because Juventus was stripped of their title and Milan was not promoted to first.

Any special reason why Rome isn't accepted for Roma? Is there a better known Rome team? Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Liverpool, Liecester, Munich, etc work... only other exception I noticed was Atletico Madrid I guess because Real Madrid is a much better known team. And of course the two Manchesters.

Lazio is also from Rome.

Teams aren't translated to fit the city name in English. Perhaps the main exception is Bayern München, which does get translated to Bayern Munich

(Milan isn't truly "translated". It is called Milan, instead of Milano, because the team was founded by two Englishmen).

Hahahaha no liverpool (this year is the one though ): )

Finally!!!!!

Hi Hines Brothers. Can I rename myself Hine Brothers Fan?

Scroll mode for mobile please!

Is there a chance to accept Turin for Juventus?

Think you could accept "FC Barcelona?" I typed FC multiple times and I was really confused as to why it wasn't working

Liverpool*

yeah liverpool
