I don't know but it really seems this is a season for the underdogs. Some few break throughs were achieved by some teams that we thought wouldn't have. Newcastle surprised us by beating Liverpool to win the Carling cup, Bologna shocked AC Milan and defeated them in the Coppa Italia final. Harry Kane ended his 16 years without a trophy to finally win one and add his name among trophy winners. Crystal Palace against all odds beat Manchester City to lift their first ever major trophy, Son finally lifted his first ever trophy with Tottenham after so many years of waiting. Season of the underdogs, well expect Bayern Munich, lol.
You forgot to include Stuttgart in your post of underdogs because they won the DFB-Pokal this season. I really love what plays out this season in English football, Italian football, and German football because the big clubs in those leagues will know that the small clubs are rising to challenge them, and if they fail to perform well, they won't win trophies.
