Juventus (2011/12):
Antonio Conte led an undefeated Serie A campaign, marking Juve's first title since a scandal.
Celtic (2016/17):
Brendan Rodgers' team achieved an undefeated Scottish Premiership season with only four draws, adding cup victories for a potential treble.
Perugia (1978/79):
This Serie A team holds the unique distinction of going unbeaten while finishing second due to a high number of draws.
Barcelona Femeni (2021/22):
The only team on the list to achieve a perfect season, winning every domestic match.
The Stakes for Leverkusen
