It is the rare feat of winning three major trophies in one season, typically the league, the main domestic cup and a continental title.
What is the difference between the double and the treble?
The double is two major trophies in a season; the treble is three, making it far rarer and more prestigious.
Why is the treble so celebrated?
Because winning across the league, a domestic cup and a European competition in one season demands elite depth and consistency, so very few clubs achieve it.
