Liverpool claimed the English top-flight after 30 years with their first Premier League title. Lyon and Bayern Munich, meanwhile, chalked up victories in the women’s and men’s Champions League respectively.
The football season that ended in 2020, especially the big leagues in Europe and the continent’s elite club competitions, were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They were all, however, taken to a logical conclusion, even though the end of the seasons was pushed much later than usual.
Among Europe’s top five leagues, all eyes were mainly on the English Premier League in the 2019-20 season. For Liverpool – giants in terms of reputation – ended their long wait for an English top-flight title by lifting it for the first time since 1990. And since the Premier League era only began in 1992, it was also the club’s first Premier League title.
Both the women and men’s Champions League were completed in a single country, with the usual home and away fixtures done away with in favour of a single match for what remained of the knock-out fixtures following the resumption. The Women’s Champions League was won by Lyon as they made it a record five times in a row. The men’s competition, meanwhile, was won by Bayern Munich, who did it for the sixth time in the competition’s history.

Liverpool mathematically assured themselves of the Premier League title with seven matches left for them in the season, making them the earliest to win the title.
Lyon won the Women’s Champions League for a record seventh time.
Bayern Munich not only won the Champions League, but did it by winning every single game they played in the season’s competition. They are the first team to win with a perfect record.
