Interesting how Sweden is the league with the most number of champions (6) -- i.e. the 'most domestically competitive' over the past 10 years, but in terms of "One Club League" it is one of the higher ones, with Malmo having 5x more championships than the closest competitor.

Among higher ranked leagues, only Serie A (Juve), Scotland (Celtic), Croatia (Dinamo), Greece (Olympiakos), Cyprus (APOEL), Austria (Salzburg) and France (PSG) are higher (in terms of 1 team dominance) in that regard.

The decade before that had 8 different championships with only Djurgården having more than 1. It coincides with Sweden failing to play group stages for all that time. Malmö managed to use the qualifying split between champions and league to their advantage and build a foundation to at least reach EL on a regular basis.

In recent years it seems so. I remember clubs like Deportivo La Coruña, Blackburn Rovers, Werder Bremen, Hellas Verona, winning once in a while. Recently I remember only Leicester City, who is small compared to the big six in England, but has an important budget too.

With Covid19, the gap may increase further as Malmo is doing a lot better financially compared to all other clubs. They're already 7p clear at the top of the table this season and have won something like 9 out of the last 10 matches.

Those clubs won once! Not once in a while.
Blackburn were no surprise. They had been bought 5 years before with huge money spent, they had amazing team and great coach, and the title would be between them and Man. United as it was in the year before.

SuperDepor didn't won La Liga. SuperDepor was the team in the 90's and that really challenged Real and Barça. When they won the title, their score and their games were not impressing until they won. They even got to a CL SF in 2004 and now are in 3rd division.

In germany before 2000 Germany had lack of good management. You had teams champions like Kaiserslautern, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart. But after the disaster campaing in Euro 2000, DBF completely changed the football in germany and now we are seeing one of the most sucessful leagues,national teams,including youth teams, and Bayern that who was the best getting the benefits
