Manchester United won a treble in 1999: the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup (left to right); the English club also won the 1999 Intercontinental Cup.

See also Treble (association football) and List of association football teams to have won four or more trophies in one season.

Although not an officially recognised achievement, seven clubs have achieved the distinction of winning the Champions League or European Cup, their domestic championship, and their primary domestic cup competition in the same season, known colloquially as "the treble":

• Celtic in 1967, having won the European Cup, the Scottish First Division, and the Scottish Cup.
• Ajax in 1972 won the European Cup, the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup.
• PSV Eindhoven in 1988 did likewise, having won the European Cup, the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup.
• Manchester United in 1999, having won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.
• Barcelona in 2009, which included La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
• Inter Milan in 2010, which included Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League.
• Bayern Munich in 2013, which included Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the Champions League.
• Barcelona in 2015 won the treble for the second time, having won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
• Bayern Munich in 2020 became the second club to win multiple trebles, having won the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the Champions League.

Liverpool in 1984 won the English First Division and the European Cup. However, this 'treble' included the Football League Cup rather than the FA Cup.

In addition to this treble, several of these clubs went on to win further cups. However, most of these cups were technically won the following year following the conclusion of regular domestic or international leagues the year before. 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, as well as the regional Glasgow Cup, in the 1966–67 season concurrently with the treble of cups mentioned previously (sometimes colloquially referred to as a part of "the quintuple"), 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. Bayern Munich also won the DFL-Supercup in the start of the 2012–13 season, the European Super Cup in 2013 and the FIFA Club World Cup in the same year winning a sextuple of cups.
• 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 also won the European Super Cup and the DFL-Supercup in 2020.

Liverpool went on to win the final.
• Shakhtar Donetsk lost on head-to-head to Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2020–21

1995–96 was the first tournament in which three points were awarded for a win instead of two. The following teams were knocked out from the group stage, but would have advanced following the old rule:

• Rosenborg was ranked fourth out of six runners-up in 1997–98, but would have equaled the points of Paris Saint-Germain and eventual finalists Juventus and advanced on goal difference
• Bayer Leverkusen ended third in Group A in 1999–2000, but would have been one point ahead of Dynamo Kyiv
• Panathinaikos ended third in Group E in 2004–05, but would have equaled the points of PSV Eindhoven and advanced on head-to-head matches
• Werder Bremen ended third in Group B in 2008–09, but would have equaled the points of Inter Milan and advanced on head-to-head matches
• Napoli ended third in Group C in 2018–19, but would have been one point ahead of eventual winners Liverpool.
