Leicester City is the exception that proves the rule. They were the first first time winner since the 70s. Besides that year, there are basically 4 teams (although I guess it is now 5 if Liverpool can actually win) that have just traded the title back and forth for the last 25 years. Meanwhile there has only been one repeat Super Bowl winner in the last decade with 8 teams winning over the last 10 year span.

As someone above pointed out a much better comparison to the superbowl would be the winner of the championsleague as the structure is more alike. There have been 11 teams winning in the last 25 years. Still less variation than NFL, but then in soccer there is much more drama throughout the season, while in NFL it's all about the playoffs.
