The Treble
Encyclopedia
The term treble or Treble is used in association football to refer to a team winning three trophies in a single season. Honours usually considered to contribute to a treble are the top-tier domestic league competition, domestic cup competitions, and continental tournaments; although this depends to some extent on the structure of the football pyramid in a country. Trophy competitions which consist of a single match or a two-leg match (e.g. the FA Community Shield
, the Recopa Sudamericana
, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup
) are generally not counted as part of a treble. Nor is the now defunct UEFA Intertoto Cup
.
Of the various ways of completing a treble, the more prestigious combinations include the 'continental treble' (top tier league, primary domestic cup or other secondary tournament and highest level continental competition) and the 'domestic treble' (league and two domestic secondary tournaments).
), in addition to the continental championship, all within a single season. This was first achieved in 1962 by Santos, winning the Campeonato Paulista
(state league), Taça Brasil
(national league) and Copa Libertadores (continental tournament). Santos remain the only South American club to have achieved a treble, with Colo-Colo
and São Paulo coming remarkably close in 1991 and 1993, respectively. Most countries in the region do not have a domestic cup to enable a domestic double. Some associations' cups are recently inaugurated and/or were held sporadically in the past.
Since then, eight teams have matched the feat in Europe, while eight other clubs have also won the treble: five Africa
n clubs, one Asia
n club and two North America
n clubs. Raja Casablanca's 1999 season has also been called a "continental treble", as they won the CAF Champions League, the CAF Super Cup and the Afro-Asian Club Championship. Egyptian club Al-Ahly
are the only side to have won this kind of treble more than once, and they did so in consecutive seasons, completing the feat in 2005 and 2006. Of the European sides, AFC Ajax have come the closest to defending all three titles, retaining the Dutch Eredivisie
and European Cup in 1973, but failing to win the KNVB Cup
.
In 2003, F.C. Porto became the sixth club, and first Portuguese club, to win a European treble, adding the victorious 2003 UEFA Cup Final
to the Portuguese League and Portuguese Cup conquests of the same year. In winning the 2009 Champions League final
, Barcelona became the seventh club, and first Spanish club, to win a European treble, having already won the La Liga title and Copa del Rey in 2008–09. After winning the 2010 Champions League final
, Internazionale Milano
became the eighth club in Europe
, and first Italian club, to win a European treble, having already won the Serie A
title and Coppa Italia
in the same season. It was the second consecutive season that a European treble was achieved. Samuel Eto'o played in the third Champions League final of his career, and with Internazionale's triumph over Bayern Munich became the first player to win two consecutive trebles in consecutive seasons. In 2011, Portugal's F.C. Porto became the first club to win two continental trebles.
Santos also won the Intercontinental Cup
that season, completing a quadruple. Celtic F.C. also won the Scottish League Cup
and Glasgow Cup
that season, completing a quintuple.
This type of treble consists of a club winning their country's top-tier league as well as the two most highly regarded secondary competitions, all during one season. Many countries do not have a second domestic (league cup) competition, so achieving a domestic treble is impossible. Brazil has an unofficial "Triple Crown
", a name given to a team that wins the national league, the national cup, and their state league. Liverpool
won a domestic treble in 1986 of First Division
, FA Cup
and Super Cup
(the latter not being the one-match Charity Shield
, which was won by Everton
). However, the Super Cup
only ran for one season and failed to be acknowledged as a credible competition. Consequently, most Liverpool fans will refer to the 1985-86 season as "the double winning year".
- The League of Ireland Shield was the forerunner to the League of Ireland Cup. - Linfield's 2006 treble was part of a domestic quadruple. That season they also won the County Antrim Shield
. - Sun Hei's treble was part of a domestic quadruple. That season they also won the Hong Kong League Cup
.
As Celtic also won the league this year, this was achieved as part of their aforementioned quadrouple (see above), and consequently is seldom referred to as a cup treble. Liverpool also won the subsequent FA Community Shield
and UEFA Super Cup, making them the first club to complete a treble and then win both domestic and European Super Cup
s in the same calender year.
