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.

Club	First title	Second title	Treble title
Juventus	1976–77 UEFA Cup	1983–84 European Cup Winners' Cup	1984–85 European Cup
Ajax	1970–71 European Cup	1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup	1991–92 UEFA Cup
Bayern Munich	1966–67 European Cup Winners' Cup	1973–74 European Cup	1995–96 UEFA Cup
Chelsea	1970–71 European Cup Winners' Cup	2011–12 UEFA Champions League	2012–13 UEFA Europa League

Juventus has 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,[8][9] and the only one to reach it with the same coach.
