2. RSC Anderlecht – 34
To the uninitiated this could be one of the more surprising names on the list, but starting with their first league victory in 1946-47, Anderlecht have reigned supreme in Belgium. Under the wily Rene Weiler they have stamped their authority over one of the most exciting leagues in Europe, and will look to carry this form forwards into contintal competition. They will, though, have to do it without their best player – Youri Tielemans, the 19 year old midfield heart of the Belgian champs is all set to make a move across the continent to the south of France and join Monaco.
1. SL Benfica – 37
Sporting Lisboa e Benfica, the Eagles, continued their supremacy in Portugal, romping home to their fourth successive league title beating eternal foes Porto to the crown by a comfortable margin of six points. With 37 titles to Porto’s 27, they are also by far the nations most successful ever club.
Manager Rui Vitoria has a win% of 73.3% in 105 games, and with him at the helm, it doesn’t look like they’ll loosen the grip on the Primera Liga anytime soon.
