2. Blackburn Rovers:

Blackburn Rovers are an immensely massive football club in Premier League history. Rovers have won multiple honors even before the formation of the Premier League. In 1991, a local millionaire Jack Walker purchased the club and immediately set about making his boyhood club the best team in the country.

Rovers won the Premier League title in the 1994/95 season when they beat Manchester United in the league and managed to get their first league glory after many years.  Premier League's highest goal scorer Alan Shearer was part of that team as well.

When the Premier League era began in 1992, Liverpool was the most decorated in the premier title winner's history with 18 titles, a whole eight ahead of second-placed Arsenal.

In football, a team wins a treble when they win three major trophies in a single season. Winning the continental treble means winning the premier national league competition, the main national cup competition, and the main continental trophy, for UEFA, which is the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League.

Though winning the Europa League is also considered a treble, it is not accepted wholeheartedly by the pundits and fans as winning the UEFA Champions League. 

Till now, 9 European clubs have been able to win the continental treble. Before we discuss all the European treble winners in men's football history, we must know about the types of Trebles we have in football. 

Barcelona is the only club to win multiple trebles with both their men's and women's team, completing the feat in 2024.

Continental treble

This is considered the actual treble in football where a team go on to win the national league, national cup competition and the main continental trophy. Celtic Football Club in 1966-67 became the first team in football history to win a Continental treble. Till now, 22 men's teams have won the Continental Treble, with 30 being the total number of times. In Europe, only 8 football teams have been able to accomplish the feat.

Domestic treble

Generally, for most of the footballing nations, winning a domestic treble is not possible since they do not allow first-division teams to win any secondary cup or league. A domestic treble includes winning three national competitions, including the national league title, the national cup competition, and one secondary competition. Countries which were under British or French possessions once allowed domestic trebles to happen. Celtic with 8 domestic trebles, and Rangers, with 7, are the most successful teams when it comes to winning domestic trebles.
