I built a barcode chart in Excel to capture the entire trophy history of top football clubs from England, Italy, Germany, Spain, France, and the Netherlands, tracking national cup wins (only main cup) (1 pt), league titles (3 pts), and UEFA Champions League wins (6 pts). Each bar represents a trophy, letting you see not just the totals, but when certain teams dominated. It was a great experiment, and Excel handled it surprisingly well!
You could maybe have factored in other European silverware (Europacup II/Uefa Cup/Europa League) as those are quite significant pieces of silverware as well
Nice to see the comparison. Just looking at the 3 most important titles instead of the inclusion of minor titles.
Had you inserted the Portuguese teams you would have a surprise among the top 10 using your criteria…
There’s an Inter-sized hole in Juventus’ record (from the *Calciopoli* scandal)
Cool graph, needs some gridlines to see where each decade ends. But solid!

Could have used better colors in my opinion
