7 Biggest Clubs Who've Never Won A Top Flight Title

[@Morgan_Black]

Leverkusen's 2002 campaign was just ridiculous. They finished 2nd on every single stage they entered (Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, CL), and in addition, the German players at Leverkusen also finished 2nd at the world cup that year. Michael Ballack was in 2nd place 4 times that seaaon.

[@ayonhazarika77]

2002 levakusen squads heartbreak. Top of bundesliga heading into the final game of the season 2 points ahead of bayern. Were in the dfb pokal final and champions league final. They were going for the treble but at the end of season they had no titles. Cant imagine the heartbreak the players went through. And if that wasnt enough ballack lost the world cup final as well

[@callito9846]

Also several of their players where in the world cup final 2002 losing against brasil ....you couldn't write stuff like this

[@Yusni-bc2cm]

The team who snatched the league title is Dortmund, tho.

[@ajanthony1356]

Ballack lost to Brazil and Madrid, both the best teams in thier respective competitions

[@justhuy7960]

Ballack didn't get the chance to play at the world cup final and he still won some league titles with BM and Chelsea. Ramelow and Schneider are the true definition of bad luck, losed 3 finals in 2002 and even worse won nothing entire their career.

[@aidankhan921]

@@ajanthony1356 I mean Leverkusen were the better team in the Champions League Real's first goal was terrible you could definitely make a case the keeper should've done better on Zidane's goal and Leverkusen dominated the game but Casillas played out of his mind when he came on if Cesar didn't get injured it's likely Leverkusen would've won

4th time a charm: Players who are legends in their own country, but hardly known outside. Example: Willem van Hanegem is considered to be in the top 5 all time Dutch players (many consider him the best after Cruyff before Van Basten, Gullit, Bergkamp, Robben etc.). But he only played in Holland, so people abroad don't really know him.

[@dev0nSA1nt]

All these really surprised me, apart from West Ham because I already knew. Was just going to mention Saints are a good candidate, but you did it for me! We were three points behind Liverpool the season we came second, with the same amount of wins and three fewer draws, meaning if we'd scored four more goals (to equalise in any four of the games we lost) we would have won the league.

Like West Ham, their best finish is 3rd, on three occasions.

Fun fact, the brazilian league is very competitive, because most of the big clubs don’t have political and economic stability, so it is very difficult to predict who’s going to be champion in almost every season, but the title hardly ever goes to any club from outside of the 13 big ones. Therefore, Fortaleza, not belonging to the 13 big clubs group, will struggle to ever reach a national championship

Despite this being the same country that lost and was embarrassed to a country with the same population as Coventry in Euro 2016. It would be great to see if you have read this comment and make a video trying to debunk all the points that haters have been saying as this is a great time to be optimistic about the future tournaments.

Parma had one great decade but overall I'd definitely say West Ham are the bigger club of the two. Espanyol are certainly bigger than Villareal!

However, if they keep like that they will eventually get something for their merits, they are very organized right now.
