Levski Sofia, led by Spanish coach Julio Velázquez and featuring Portuguese defender Aldair, ended Ludogorets’ 14-year dominance by winning the Bulgarian league. The decisive victory came in the Sofia derby against CSKA 1948, where Dugandzic scored the only goal, and Aldair contributed throughout the title-winning campaign with 21 appearances, 16 as a starter. This triumph marks Levski’s 27th league title and secures their spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League qualifiers, their first league crown since 2008/09.
