List of teams to have won the three main European club competitions
To date, five clubs have won all three main pre-1999 UEFA club competitions, the "European Treble" of European Cup/UEFA Champions League, European/UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League.
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. Ten of those teams are just one trophy away from the feat, including Barcelona and Milan who have both won multiple Champions League and Cup Winners' Cup titles and are one Europa League trophy away from achieving the UEFA treble. Other clubs needing the Europa League title to achieve the treble are Hamburg, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City, having previously won the European Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup once each. The remaining five clubs that need to win the Champions League: Atlético Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Anderlecht, Valencia and Parma.
Upon the commencement of the UEFA Europa Conference League in the 2021–22 season, there is a chance for the 32 former winners of the Cup Winners' Cup to win that competition. Any other existing clubs can also win a modern UEFA treble (counting only the Champions, Europa and Europa Conference League titles) in the future.
Only the first win is shown for any club with multiple wins of the same competition.
Juventus received The UEFA Plaque from the confederation in 1988, 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 in a single coach spell (i.e. Giovanni Trapattoni). They completed the European treble in the shortest amount of time (8 years), while Manchester United reached it in the longest (49 years).
Chelsea is the first and only club to win all three pre-1999 main UEFA club competitions more than once each, having won the 1997–98 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, 2018–19 UEFA Europa League, and 2020–21 UEFA Champions League. They won the 2012–13 Europa League, the club's first title in the tournament which completed the treble, after being transferred as a third place team in that season's Champions League group stage.
Hamburg, Fiorentina, Ajax, Arsenal, and Liverpool are the only clubs to have been runners-up in all three of these competitions. In the 2022–23 season, Fiorentina became the first club in European football to finish as runners-up in all four seasonal competitions, achieved after losing the Europa Conference League final.
