List of teams to have won the three main European club competitions
To date, only five clubs have won all three main UEFA club competitions at different points in their history, the "European Treble" of European Cup/UEFA Champions League, European/UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League.[4]
Although the Cup Winners' Cup no longer exists, there are 27 of its former winners who could still add wins in the other two competitions to achieve this UEFA treble. Nine of those teams are just one trophy away from the feat; namely five-time Champions League winners and four-time Cup Winners' Cup holders Barcelona[5][6] and seven-time Champions League winners and two-time Cup Winners' Cup holders Milan, which are just one Europa League trophy away from achieving the UEFA treble.
Note: per criteria for achieving European Treble, shows first win only for any club with multiple wins of same competition.
