The 2017/2018 season was yet another successful one for Ludogorets. The team performed strongly on both fronts – the championship and the European club tournaments, never leaving any doubts about its total superiority.

The European campaign in the summer of 2017 did not start in the best way. Ludogorets eliminated Zalgiris in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, but subsequently failed to overcome Apoel Be'er Sheva, even though they were the better team in both matches. With an aggregate score of 3:3 and one conceded goal at home, Ludogorets continued to the Europa League playoffs, where they eliminated Suduva.

In the autumn, Ludogorets showed consistency in the championship, despite the tough matches in the Europa League group with Braga, Hoffenheim, and Istanbul Basaksehir. The champions even recorded two impressive victories – over Hoffenheim in Razgrad with 2:1 and over Braga in Portugal with 2:0. These two successes essentially secured the team's qualification for the next phase of the Europa League, where the seven-time European Cup winner Milan awaited.

The "Eagles" started the new 2018 year as leaders in the championship. Despite the two losses to Milan and elimination from the Europa League, Ludogorets did not lower their guard in the championship and recorded an impressive winning streak, which ended with a triumph in the derby against CSKA-Sofia with 3:2 and a valuable win over Levski at the "Georgi Asparuhov" stadium with 1:0. The seventh title became a fact after the victory over Vereya, while at the same time the main rival CSKA-Sofia drew with Botev in Plovdiv.
