Not only Tottenham and Kane, 2025 can be called the end of the championship drought

2024/25 season has written many fairy tales for football, and several clubs that have been away from the championship for decades have finally realized their dreams. Tottenham defeated Manchester United in the UEFA Cup final and won its first championship trophy since the 2008 British League Cup. This also ended their bitterness that was long-term ridiculed by opponent fans. In addition to Tottenham, there are five major counterattack samples this season, which may help other teams that have not won the championship for a long time regain their confidence.

Newcastle United - The first championship in 2016, the Magpies became the first English club to win the championship in 2025, rewriting the team history in one fell swoop. Although he had a luxurious lineup from the 1990s to the early 2000s, he had a luxury lineup in the era when Sir Bobby Robson coached and Alan Hiller charged, he still had no results. Their only "little honor" is the 2006 International Toto Cup (this event is often despised in mainstream football). The last important European Championship can be traced back to the 1969 International City Expo Cup, and the domestic competition has made no achievements since the 1955 FA Cup. After losing to Manchester United in the 2023 League Cup final, they finally won the Cup this year at Liverpool.

Crystal Palace - the first mainstream trophy in team history

Under the leadership of Oliver Glasner, the Eagles won the first truly meaningful championship trophy in team history. Their only honor was the All-Member Cup that was closed in 1991, and they failed twice in the FA Cup finals in 1990 and 2016 (both lost to Manchester United). This season they finally defeated another Manchester City giant Manchester City, thus becoming the elite club that can fly a pennant (only champion teams in the English tradition can use pennant in the corner).

Bologna - 51 years waiting to end

"Red and Blue Army " last won the championship in 1974, and the Serie A championship dates back to 1964. The 1998 International Toto Cup was their only gain in recent years until this season. Under the training of Italian No. 21st century, this most surprising Italian Cup champion has achieved a perfect record of winning all three games in the finals, and the last time they reached the finals of the event was in 1974. Italian Noor himself ended the "final spell" he had previously coached Fiorentina.

Eagle of Forward - A dream came true in 1992

This club from the small town of Deventer, Netherlands, won the championship last time back to before World War II. The 2025 Dutch Cup counterattack was full of drama: Alkmaar was tied in the 99th minute and finally won the cup through a penalty shootout. Special tip: According to Dutch tradition, cup winners can wear bathrobes with team badges at award ceremony, a unique tradition that began in the 1990s is still cherished today.

Harry Kane - First career champion

No need to repeat. After years of ridicule, the English captain finally won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, silencing doubters. In other European Ligue 1, Reims reached the French Cup final for the first time since 1977 and is expected to hit its first mainstream trophy since 1991 (although the opponent is Paris Saint-Germain, who is determined to be the treble champion). Bundesliga team Bielefeld was shocked to eliminate Leverkusen and will compete with Stuttgart for the German Cup, which is also chasing its first trophy after 2007.
