Turkish giants Galatasaray have clinched their fourth consecutive Süper Lig championship after a thrilling 4-2 comeback victory over Antalyaspor on Saturday. Despite Soner Dikmen’s brace putting the visitors ahead twice, goals from Mario Lemina, Victor Osimhen, and Kaan Ayhan sealed the win at Rams Park. This marks the 26th league title in the club’s history, cementing their status as Turkey’s most dominant side in the 21st century.
To put their achievement into perspective, we examined the number of league titles won since the 1999/2000 season across UEFA’s current top 10 ranked divisions: the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Liga Portugal, Eredivisie, Belgian Jupiler Pro League, Turkish Süper Lig, and Czech Chance Liga. Teams tied in title counts were ranked by their most recent triumph.
Leading the pack with an unparalleled 20 titles out of 27 available this century is Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich. Once Galatasaray officially seal this season’s crown, they will move into a tie for second place with 13 titles since 2000, matching PSV Eindhoven, who have won the Eredivisie 13 times, including the current campaign.
Barcelona and Porto are both on 12 titles each, but could join the 13-club if they secure their respective leagues this weekend. Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus follow with 11 titles apiece, with PSG expected to add another in Ligue 1. Belgian side Anderlecht have 10 titles but haven’t won since 2016/17. Real Madrid and Ajax each have nine titles, while Manchester City, Manchester United, and others are on eight, though City could surpass that if they edge Arsenal to the Premier League trophy this season. Inter Milan also have a chance to reach eight titles this weekend.
