For footballers, achieving victory in the UEFA Champions League stands as the ultimate goal, recognized as the premier trophy among club competitions.
Nonetheless, the Champions League is merely one of UEFA’s trio of yearly knockout tournaments, thus establishing a unique category of winners for players aiming for all three coveted medals.
Since the introduction of the Conference League in 2021, alongside the long-standing Champions League and Europa League, only a select few have had the chance to secure triumphs in all three tournaments.
This article from Sporting News highlights the players who have claimed victories in all of UEFA’s competitions, each boasting at least one title from every tournament.
List of Players Who Have Won All Three UEFA Club Competitions
As of now, there is only one player who has succeeded in winning the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League, albeit with a caveat.
Emerson Palmieri began his triumphs by winning the Europa League with Chelsea in the 2018/19 season, then added the Champions League title two years later under the same club. After a less fruitful season with Lyon, he joined West Ham in 2022 and played a pivotal role in their Conference League title victory in his first season.
The Italian international, originally from Brazil, played a crucial part in securing the Europa League and Conference League titles, yet was more of a supporting player during Chelsea’s Champions League win in the 2020/21 season, not appearing in the final match.
He famously etched all three trophies on his leg following this achievement, marking the dates of his victories for remembrance.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan Approaching UEFA Treble Milestone
As the 2025 Champions League final approaches, a player has the chance to etch his name in history with a win in Munich.
Inter Milan’s midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan could become the first individual to secure all three club titles while being an active player in all finals.
The 36-year-old Armenian has had an illustrious career spanning several European clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Arsenal, Roma, and currently Inter, providing him with numerous chances to clinch titles, which he has done successfully.
Mkhitaryan’s first major honor came in 2017 when he played an integral role in helping Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United win the Europa League. He netted six goals in 11 matches, including a crucial goal in the 2-0 final against Ajax.
Five years later, he would join forces with Mourinho once more to win the UEFA Conference League, making a brief appearance off the bench to contribute to Roma’s 1-0 win over Feyenoord in the inauguration of the new competition’s final.
If Mkhitaryan is selected to start for Inter and aids the club in securing a European championship, he will become the first player to win all three trophies while actively participating in each of the finals.
