List of teams to have won the three main European club competitions

To date, five clubs have won all three main UEFA club competitions, 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, 27 of its former winners 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; most notably 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 one Europa League trophy away from achieving the UEFA treble.
