A good effort from all involved there, that was a fairly tough one.
RB Leipzig are challenging in an attempt to win their first ever title in Germany this season. Can you name the 22 teams across the top 5 European leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain) to have won the top flight only once?
(All-time records for England and Spain, starting from the inception of the Bundesliga (1963) for Germany, the inception of Serie A (1929) for Italy, and starting from the professional era (1932) for France.)
Sampdoria, Deportivo, 1860 Munich, Auxerre, Leicester.
I read an article about this very subject the other day - I think it was on The Athletic?
Nottm Forest
Ipswich
WBA
Wolfsburg
1860 Munich
Hellas Verona
Cagliari
Montpellier

RC Lens
Paris FC or FC Paris
Sochuax
1800 Munich
Strasbourg is correct though, one title in 78-79.
Lens and 1860 are correct but have been said already. There is a Paris-based team, but not Paris FC. 3 French, 1 English and 2 German teams to get.
Didn't Blackpool have a guy who won Ballon d'Or in like the black & white tv era Stanley Williams or something... I'm trying to think of his name we have a guy who comes to Orlando City who grew up a Blackpool supporter who RTs stuff about him sometimes
I'll go with Blackpool tho
Other than that I'd say
Sheffield Wednesday
Millwall
Blackburn
fawkkkkkk. sorry for the wrong name.
I get points for the Paris one. I know 100% there is a Paris team
Paris Olmypic
1901 Paris
Paris Utd
Bayern Paris
Its something...
Red Star
Stan Mathews makes me wonder about Stoke
Preston and Huddersfield both won it, but I think more than once... Nonetheless I'll try.

Just done a quick Sporcle for the First Division winners and got all of them. Sheffield United, if it hasn't been said.
Sheffield United is correct, won it once in 1897-98.
Preston have won it twice, and Huddersfield three times (in a row, under Chapman). Stoke's highest position is 4th. Koln have won the Bundesliga twice.
I'll give you the Paris once Sincere, but the team were known as RCF Paris, or Racing Club Paris. They won it in 1935-36.
Two (obscure and old) French teams remain, and two German teams, who both won the Bundesliga once in the 60s.
Schalke, Nurnberg.
I just like the name "Carl Zeiss Jena" from FUT so let me just throw that in there
