Juventus have secured an eighth straight Serie A title, the longest streak in any of Europe's 'big five' leagues and the joint longest across the continent, but it is still not enough to put them on the overall leaderboard for successive championships.
Top spot in this category belongs to two clubs who clinched 14 straight titles: Latvian side Skonto and Lincoln of Gibraltar, a team that missed out on outright leadership when pipped by rivals Europa on the last day of the 2016/17 season.
Lincoln's disappointment also left them one title short of what is considered the world record, held by Tafea of Vanuatu in Oceania, whose 15 consecutive championships ran from 1994 to 2008/09.
Belarusian club BATE Borisov also looked set to challenge that tally until they were stopped at 13 straight Belarusian crowns by Dinamo Brest in 2019. Meanwhile, Vaduz's 47th Liechtensteiner Cup win on 1 May extended their world-record haul of domestic cups and Linfield's 2018/19 Northern Irish league title leaves them within one of Rangers' European record of 54.
