Europe's serial champions: Bayern Munich join the 10+ club

Skonto Riga were founded in 1991 and set about winning from the get-go, collecting 14 straight league championships between then and 2004. Their success is closely linked with Aleksandrs Starkovs (above) who was the club's head coach through most of that record-setting run. Skonto FC were disbanded after declaring bankruptcy in 2016.

Lincoln Red Imps FC too won 14 championships in a row and are Gibraltar's most successful football team, having won 26 national titles. In 2014, the Red Imps became the territory's first team to play in the Champions League, where they fell to Havnar Boltfelag of the Faroe Islands in the first qualfying round. The club are named after English third tier side Lincoln City, nicknamed "The Imps."

Rosenborg are best known for their forays into the Champions League, qualifying for the group stage 11 times between 1995 and 2007. They twice managed to reach the knockout phase. One of their biggest stars was John Carew (right), who quickly moved on to bigger European clubs. However, he didn't get on the scoresheet in their 3-0 win over Jürgen Kohler's (left) Dortmund in October 1999.

BATE are based in the small city of Barysaw, 75 kilometers to the northeast of Minsk. Established in 1973 as a company team for Borisov Automobile and Tractor Electronics (hence the acronym), BATE won 13 national championships in a row between 2006 and 2018, and have made it to the Champions League several times. Their best-known player is Alexander Hleb (center), who had three spells at the club.

Dinamo Zagreb have earned a reputation for producing players that go on to successful careers in Europe's top leagues, the most famous being Luka Modric (above). Among those who either got their start with the Blues or used the club as a stepping stone to the rest of Europe are: Robert Prosinecki, Zvonimir Boban, Mateo Kovacic, and Mario Mandzukic. And more recently: Dani Olmo and Josko Gvardiol.

Berliner FC Dynamo were founded in 1966 and won 10 consecutive titles in the former East German Oberliga between 1979-1988. They were widely hated by opposing fans due to their links to the Stasi (secret police). Like many other East German clubs, BFC Dynamo struggled after the fall of communism, with star players like Andreas Thom (second from right) being bought up by richer Bundesliga outfits.

FC Pyunik Yerevan may be best known for producing attacker Henrik Mkhitaryan, seen here (right) in a 2007 Champions League qualifying match. The Armenian star, who was involved in the later part of Pyunik's run of 10 titles between 2001 and 2010, would later go on to play for Shakhtar Donetsk, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Arsenal, and now Roma.

Sheriff FC were founded in 1996 as FC Tiras Tiraspol but within a year the company Sheriff Ltd had stepped in to bankroll the club, based in Moldova's breakaway Transnistria region. In 2000-01 they did the double, thus embarking on their run of 10 consecutive championships. This season, Sheriff FC made history by reaching the group stage of the Champions League for the first time.

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad were established in 1945 but for decades you hardly would have known it. Their rise began in September 2010, when Bulgarian entrepreneur Kiril Domuschiev purchased the then-second division club with the intention of taking them to the top flight. Ludogorets won promotion that same season and did the double the year after. Since then, they have won 10 titles – and counting.

By the time Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban (left) arrived to open the new Hidegkuti Nandor Stadium in 2016, MTK Budapest's glory days of 10 consecutive titles were long behind them. However, MTK have seen success since 1925, having won the Hungarian top flight as recently as 2007-08 and the Magyar Kupa in 2000. The club reached the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1964.

If you're not Georgian and you have heard of FC Dinamo Tbilisi, it may be because they are Georgia's only team to have won European silverware. Here they are seen celebrating their second goal in their 2-1 win over East German outfit Carl Zeiss Jena in the 1981 final of the old UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Their spell of Georgian dominance came after the breakup of the Soviet Union a decade later.
