Liverpool, Man Utd, Real Madrid: Combined table of Europe's top five leagues in 2021/22

Europe’s top five leagues are officially done and dusted for the 2021/22 season.

Manchester City survived a final day wobble to pip Liverpool to Premier League glory, while Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich asserted their dominance over Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga.
