With the same representatives as LaLiga the Series appears and with four the French League remains. The only representatives of the Bundesliga are its two great scorers: Haaland and Lewandowski.

By countries, Italy dominates, whose team was European champion, with five representatives, ahead of England (four) and Spain, France and Portugal (three).
