France - 3 (PSG x 8, Monaco and Lille)
Germany - 2 (Bayern Munich x 9 and Bayer Leverkusen)
Italy - 4 (Juventus x 5, Inter Milan x 2, Napoli x 2 and AC Milan)
Netherlands - 3 (PSV x 4, Ajax x 3, Feyenoord x 2) *
Portugal - 3 (Benfica x 4, Sporting x 3, Porto x 3)
Spain - 3 (Barcelona x 5, Real Madrid x 4 and Atletico Madrid)

(The 2019/20 season in the Netherlands was abandoned)

I think the most interesting thing to note from the above is that two clubs who are arguably among the three biggest in England haven't won the Premier League at all during the last ten years. Man Utd haven't won it since 2012/13, while you have to go way back to 2003/04 to find Arsenal's last title-winning campaign. I don't believe there's a genuinely comparable situation in any other major European league.
If you looked at the smallest leagues in europe it would be far more of a closed shop i think.

Re major european leagues- the premier league is brilliant and by far the best.
