4. New Champions in Italy and Germany

Antonio Conte has changed Inter Milan's fortunes
Antonio Conte has changed Inter Milan's fortunes

Yes, you heard it right and this there is finally a chance for this to happen. It has been that kind of a season in both Italy and Germany.

The tides are changing in Serie A as Conte's Inter Milan and others look to push the defending champions right down to the wire. Juventus have been Italy's powerhouse for eight consecutive years and only a few have come close to them. Antonio Conte is one of the major reasons for Juventus being the team they are today. The Italian won three consecutive titles with bianconeri and he is back to take their place with his new team.

Should Inter Milan, along with fellow potential challengers like Lazio and Roma, keep winning at their current pace we are in for an incredible season.

Something similar is happening in Germany's Bundesliga too. A league dominated by Bayern Munich could finally see a new champion after seven years. It has been a strange season for Bayern who currently sit on third place. Just four points off first place, the defending champions can still find form and win their eighth consecutive domestic title. But Julian Nagelsmann's RB Leipzig and Marco Rose's Borussia Mönchengladbach are making the most of Bayern's bad form. The world has waited for a long time to see who will finish above Bayern in Bundesliga and now we have two very worthy contenders this season.
