"Xem thêm: Cú ăn ba (bóng đá)"

Mặc dù không phải là một thành tích được chính thức công nhận, 7 câu lạc bộ đã đạt được danh hiệu vô địch Champions League/Cúp C1 châu Âu, giải đấu nội địa ở cấp cao nhất, cúp nội địa trong cùng một mùa giải, thường được gọi là "cú ăn ba":

- Celtic năm 1967, giành Cúp C1 châu Âu, Giải bóng đá ngoại hạng Scotland, và Cúp quốc gia Scotland.
- Ajax năm 1972, giành Cúp C1 châu Âu, Eredivisie (Giải VĐQG Hà Lan), và Cúp KNVB.
- PSV Eindhoven năm 1988, giành Cúp C1 châu Âu, Eredivisie (Giải VĐQG Hà Lan), và Cúp KNVB.

- Manchester City năm 2023, bao gồm Premier League, Cúp FA và Champions League.

Liverpool năm 1984 vô địch Football League First Division và Cúp C1 châu Âu. Tuy nhiên, "cú ăn ba" này bao gồm cả Cúp Liên đoàn Anh, thay vì Cúp FA.

Bayern Munich năm 2001 vô địch Bundesliga và Champions League. Tuy nhiên, "cú ăn ba" này bao gồm cả Cúp Liên đoàn bóng đá Đức, thay vì DFB-Pokal.

Ngoài cú ăn ba này, một số trong những câu lạc bộ trên đã giành được những chiếc cúp khác. Tuy nhiên, hầu hết những chiếc cúp này đã giành được về mặt kỹ thuật vào năm sau sau khi kết thúc các giải đấu trong nước hoặc quốc tế thông thường vào năm trước. Also, several domestic cups may not have been extant at the time that equivalent cups were won by clubs of other nations, and in some cases they remain so. Furthermore, there is much variance in the regard with which several cups are taken both over time and between nations. Regardless, the following clubs all won competitions further to "the" treble mentioned above:

- Celtic also won their secondary domestic cup competition, the Scottish League Cup, in the 1966–67 season concurrently with the treble of cups mentioned previously (sometimes colloquially referred to as a part of "the quadruple"), thus making their achievement unique in this respect to every other club.
- Ajax also won the Intercontinental Cup (the predecessor of the FIFA Club World Cup and the de facto premier global club cup) and the inaugural (and technically unofficial) UEFA Super Cup the following season, forming part of a quintuple of Cup successes; they thus won all available cups to them.
- Manchester United won the Intercontinental Cup the following season, winning a quadruple of cups.
- Barcelona won the FIFA Club World Cup, the European Super Cup, and the Supercopa de España the following season, making it a sextuple of cup successes, and thus winning all available cups to them.
- Inter Milan completed The Quintuple by winning Serie A, the Coppa Italia, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the Supercoppa Italiana.
- Bayern Munich cũng đã giành được Siêu cúp Đức vào đầu mùa giải 2012–13, giành được gấp bốn lần số cúp.

Juventus, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Chelsea và Manchester United cũng là những đội duy nhất đã giành được ba danh hiệu chính thức của UEFA bao gồm: UEFA Champions League/Cúp C1 châu Âu, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, và UEFA Cup/Europa League.

Juventus là CLB đầu tiên trong lịch sử - và vẫn là CLB duy nhất hiện tại - đã dành được tất cả các danh hiệu chính thức ở cấp độ châu lục và quốc tế

Chelsea là CLB đầu tiên giữ đồng thời hai chiếc cúp UEFA Champions League (2011-12) và UEFA Europa League (2012-13) (theo quy định của UEFA, đội vô địch UEFA Champions League có quyền giữ chiếc cúp thật trong vòng một năm trước khi trao lại cho UEFA "trong tình trạng nguyên xi" (nếu hư hại sẽ bị phạt nặng), một tháng trước trận chung kết lần sau)
