As the season reaches its climax across Europe, several leagues have already crowned their champions. Transfermarkt takes a look at all the league winners and domestic cup victors, highlighting the German legionnaires and former Bundesliga players who lifted trophies this campaign.
**Spain – La Liga Champion: FC Barcelona – Copa del Rey Winner: Real Sociedad**
On matchday 35, FC Barcelona secured their 29th La Liga title with a win over Real Madrid in El Clásico. For Robert Lewandowski, it was his third Spanish title after championships in Poland and ten in Germany. Since 2010, the striker has finished outside first place in only three seasons. Former Bundesliga stars Dani Olmo and Andreas Christensen also added to their trophy collections, but João Cancelo stands out. The Portuguese right-back became the first player ever to win league titles in four of the top five European leagues: Italy (Juventus, 2019), England (Manchester City, three times), Germany (Bayern Munich, 2023), and now Spain.
In mid-April, two ex-Bundesliga players celebrated cup success with Real Sociedad. Sergio Gómez, who struggled for game time at Borussia Dortmund before developing strongly elsewhere, started regularly as left-back. Meanwhile, former Bayern loanee Álvaro Odriozola mostly served as a backup and has been sidelined since February with a torn cruciate ligament.
**Italy – Serie A Champion: Inter Milan**
Inter Milan claimed their 21st Scudetto with a dominant run. Seven former Bundesliga players were part of the squad: starting goalkeeper Yann Sommer, defensive leader Manuel Akanji, top scorer Marcus Thuram, and midfield maestro Hakan Çalhanoğlu all played key roles under Cristian Chivu. Germany international Yann Bisseck and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also featured regularly. Backup goalkeeper Josep Martínez, who was under contract with RB Leipzig from 2020 to 2023, made four appearances.
**Portugal – Primeira Liga Champion: FC Porto**
Luuk de Jong played for Borussia Mönchengladbach from 2012 to 2014 before enjoying his most successful career phase. He won five league titles with PSV Eindhoven and the Europa League with Sevilla. This season, he added another trophy with FC Porto, though his contribution was limited due to a medial ligament injury early in the campaign and a cruciate ligament tear in December. He managed only five league appearances, scoring a crucial goal in a 2-1 win over Sporting Lisbon on matchday 4.
**Netherlands – Eredivisie Champion: PSV Eindhoven – KNVB Cup Winner: AZ Alkmaar**
PSV Eindhoven boasts an even larger contingent of former Bundesliga players than Inter, and almost all played significant roles. Bayer Leverkusen loanee Matej Kovar kept seven clean sheets as first-choice goalkeeper alongside right-back Kiliann Sildillia. The attack was driven by Ivan Perišić (7 goals, 10 assists), former Freiburg man Guus Til (13 goals, 5 assists), top scorer Ricardo Pepi (15 goals), ex-Bayern talent Paul Wanner (3 goals, 3 assists), and former Bochum striker Myron Boadu (3 goals). New signing Alassane Pléa, who joined last summer from Gladbach for €4.5 million, had his season impacted by a long-term injury.
