The 2021/22 season was a thrill ride in many ways. Europe's Top 5 football league has produced some world-class football over the course of the season with breakout performances and upsets all over the calendar.

Today we take a look at the teams that were crowned Champions of their league and nation last season. Here is the list of winners of Europe's Top 5 football league last season:

Premier League Winner: Manchester City

Manchester City wins 2021/22 Premier League title after thrilling final day for the ages; City's fourth title in five years under Pep Guardiola; City secure Premier League glory to end Liverpool's Quadruple hopes.

City, who knew a victory would secure them the title, were 2-0 down to Aston Villa with just 15 minutes remaining, but turned the game around with three goals in five minutes to win 3-2 in thrilling scenes to rival the famous 2012 Premier League title victory.

Liverpool were 3-1 winners against Wolves, but fell short by just a point after a stunning 38-game duel, ending their Quadruple hopes.

City have now won four Premier League titles and eight major trophies under Pep Guardiola since his arrival in the summer of 2016.

La Liga Winner: Real Madrid:

For the record-extending 35th time, Spanish giants Real Madrid has been crowned the La Liga champion. The Los Blancos retain the title following a comprehensive 4-0 win over 13th-placed Espanyol at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

The Madrid fans celebrated all over social media as Carlo Ancelotti and his boys wrap things up with four games to go.

The victory also was a record-breaking feat for Madrid head coach Ancelotti. He has become the first manager to win a title across the top five leagues in Europe, thus completing his Grand Slam.

It is his second stint with Los Blancos and the first La Liga crown with the side, having won the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in 2013-14, besides winning four other titles.

On the other hand, Madrid defender Marcelo has become the most successful player for the club. He has now won 24 titles with the side, the most by any player in the club's history.

Serie A Winner: AC Milan:

AC Milan have won the 2021-22 Serie A title, with arch-rivals Inter finishing second after a dramatic final day. Milan needed to win at Sassuolo in order to secure a first Scudetto since 2011, and they showed no nerves as they raced into a 3-0 lead after only 36 minutes.

Stafano Pioli's men coasted to victory to earn their first title for 11 years, rendering Inter's own 3-0 victory, at home to Sampdoria, ultimately irrelevant.

It has been a tough 11 years since Milan last won the title, with the club suffering financial crisis off the pitch and a fall from grace on it.

They fell into mid-table, finishing as low as 10th in the 2014-15 season, and were absent from European competition for a number of seasons.

However, they have been returning to their former strength under Pioli, playing in the Champions League for the first time since 2013-14 in this campaign, and have now earned a 19th Serie A crown.

They have been helped back to the top by a mix of youth and experience, with exciting talents like Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori and Sandro Tonali paired with seasoned campaigners such as Giroud and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Bundesliga Winner: Bayern Munich:

Bayern wrapped up the 2021/22 title with three games to spare after beating Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in Der Klassiker, thanks to goals from Serge Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski and Jamal Musiala.

Lewandowski had yet another scintillating campaign with the Bavarians in Bundesliga 2021-22.He netted 35 goals along with four assists across 34 appearances. He finished as the highest goal-scorer.

As per Opta, it is the seventh time the Pole finished as the leading goal-scorer in Bundesliga, equaling Gerd Muller's record. Thomas Muller was highly enthralling, having managed eight goals and a league-best 18 assists.

Bayern played 34 league games, winning 24, drawing five, and losing five times. They forwarded a league-high 97 goals and concede just 37. Overall, Bayern amassed 77 points. Borussia Dortmund finished second with 69 points. Bayer Leverkusen (64) and RB Leipzig (58) followed suit.

As per Opta, Bayern Munich have scored 49 away goals in Bundesliga in 2021-22. With that, they have set a record for most away goals by any side in a single season in the division.

Ligue 1 Winner: Paris Saint-Germain:

Mauricio Pochettino's side have regained the top-flight crown in France after Lille's triumph in the 2020-21 season.

Paris Saint-Germain have won the Ligue 1 title following 1-1 draw with Lens, with Lionel Messi smashing a memorable goal on the way to lifting his first trophy in France since joining the club on a free transfer.

Mauricio Pochettino's side secured the trophy with four matches to spare as they wrestled the title back from Lille following their surprise triumph in the 2020-21 campaign.

The trophy was ultimately clinched with ease, though their latest Ligue 1 victory could not avoid boos and jeers from the Parc des Princes crowd after a less than convincing performance.

PSG have won the title back from Lille by picking up 24 victories in 34 games, while also recording just six draws and four defeats.

With Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar leading the line, the Parisians unsurprisingly have the best attack in the division with 76 goals scored as they've stormed 15 points clear of second-placed Marseille.
