I almost know nothing about American sports teams, but judging from these statements the equivalents in German football/soccer clearly are

The Yomiuri Giants are very much the Japanese pro baseball equivalent of the New York Yankees - the most popular team, also most polarizing and disliked team, and has won the most titles.

Bayern München, hands down, to a T.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are the Canadian hockey version of the Dallas Cowboys - a team that has very little recent success to show and is mired in decades of mediocrity, yet still draws huge revenue, has a big fanbase, and never a lack of attendance.

Schalke 04. Currently only in second Bundesliga with no realistic chance to advance to first, yet always a sold out stadium with 60k+ seats, no matter who’s the opponent.
