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.[5]

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[6][7] 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.

Club First title Second title Treble title
Italy Juventus 1976–77 UEFA Cup 1983–84 European Cup Winners' Cup 1984–85 European Cup
Netherlands Ajax 1970–71 European Cup 1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup 1991–92 UEFA Cup
Germany Bayern Munich 1966–67 European Cup Winners' Cup 1973–74 European Cup 1995–96 UEFA Cup
England Chelsea 1970–71 European Cup Winners' Cup 2011–12 UEFA Champions League 2012–13 UEFA Europa League
England Manchester United 1967–68 European Cup 1990–91 European Cup Winners' Cup 2016–17 UEFA Europa League

Note: per criteria for achieving European Treble, shows first win only for any club with multiple wins of same competition.

Juventus has received, in recognition of being the first side in European football history to win all three major UEFA club competitions and the only one to reach it with the same coach,[8] The UEFA Plaque from the Confederation in 1988.[9]

List of teams to have won all UEFA club competitions

Juventus was the first club – and remains the only one club at present – in association football history to have won all six official confederation tournaments.[10]

Club First Title Second Title Third Title Fourth Title Fifth Title Sixth Title
Italy Juventus 1976–77 UEFA Cup 1983–84 European Cup Winners' Cup 1984 European Super Cup 1984–85 European Cup 1985 Intercontinental Cup 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup

Note: per criteria for achieving all confederation competitions, shows first win only in the case of club's multiple wins of same competition.

All winners from one country

Only once have three different clubs from the same country, Italy in 1989–90, won all three main UEFA club competitions in the same season, a feat that will not be repeated until 2022 at least, since the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup no longer exists:[11]

1989–90 European Cup Italy A.C. Milan
European Cup Winners' Cup Italy Sampdoria
UEFA Cup Italy Juventus

All finalists from one country

The 2018–19 season was the first time that all European finals feature only one country (England). In the Champions League final, English clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool battled for the cup, while two other English sides – both are London clubs – Chelsea and Arsenal reached the Europa League final.[12][13]
