Is it possible for a club to sweep the board by accomplishing a quadruple in a single season in football, know which teams have done it and its meaning in football
Liverpool has the best chance of earning the coveted quadruple this year since they are still in contention in four major tournaments. Winning one major prize in any given season is an impressive accomplishment, much alone two or three.
Certain teams, on the other hand, are capable of sustaining silverware battles on numerous fronts, with several additions to well-stocked cabinets.
Quadruple Meaning In Football And Which Clubs Have Managed To Win Four Major Trophies In A Season
What Exactly Is a Quadruple?
A club that has achieved a quadruple has won four championships in a single season. A team has achieved the quadruple if they have won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, and Champions League.
A ‘genuine’ quadruple occurs when a club wins all four major trophies in a single season rather than over the course of a calendar year.
A team can win four trophies and call it a quadruple, but genuine pedants and football purists would argue that prizes like the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup do not count towards ‘quadruple’ tallies since the majority of fans do not consider them important trophies.
A ‘treble’ is when a single team wins three major trophies in a single season, while a ‘double’ is when a team wins two major awards.
Bayern Munich achieved the unofficial quadruple in 2019-20, winning the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and Champions League. They went on to win the Club World Cup a few months later, giving them four trophies but not the full quadruple.
Similarly, Pep Guardiola won six titles as manager of Barcelona in the 2009 calendar year: the Champions League, La Liga, Spanish Cup, Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and Copa del Rey.
Is It Possible for A Premier League Club to Win the Quadruple?
No Premier League club has ever won the quadruple. The closest any team has come was Manchester United completing a historic triple in 1998-99, with a League Cup success evading the Red Devils as they were knocked out of that tournament in the quarter-finals by Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Manchester City won all three domestic trophies in 2018-19 but was eliminated from European play in the quarter-finals – they also won the Community Shield that year.
Liverpool Has the Slightest Chance This Season (2021-22)
Liverpool has the potential to win the Premier League and Champions League in the 2021-22 season. The Reds have already won the League Cup and FA Cup. They have reached the European Final, and also challenging City for the domestic crown.
Four Championships for Clubs
Although several teams have won four trophies in a season, no team in the top five major European leagues has accomplished the real quadruple.
Celtic completed the actual quadruple in 1966-67, winning the European Cup, Scottish First Division, Scottish Cup, and Scottish League Cup all in the same season.
