Crowned Premier League champions for the third season running, Manchester City beat arch-rivals (and 1998/99 European treble-winners) Man United 2-1 in the FA Cup final on Saturday 3 June, and completed the treble with a 1-0 defeat of Inter in the UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul.
Celtic's Lisbon Lions – in 1966/67 – are the only team to date to have lifted a quadruple of European Cup, domestic league, domestic cup and domestic league cup in the same season. City could have matched that, but lost to Southampton in this season's English League Cup quarter-finals in January. League Cups are played in a minority of countries, including England, Portugal and France, although the latter competition has not taken place since 2019/20.
No English team has ever won the quadruple before. The Lisbon Lions are the only team to ever claim all 4 trophies in 1967. It has often been seen as an impossibility for modern teams to achieve a quadruple, but some have been close.

Scottish side Celtic has won the most domestic trebles, with eight. Celtic, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are the only men's sides to win both a domestic treble and a continental treble, but Celtic are the only one to win both in the same season.
Celtic and Ajax were the first two European teams to achieve the treble in 1966-67 and 1971-72, respectively. The other five teams to have accomplished the treble are PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich.
Rodrigo named Champions League Player of the Season
It saw City become only the second English side to win a Treble consisting of the three biggest trophies available to Premier League clubs – Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup.

He established himself as an integral player for the club within the next three years, and in his first uninterrupted season in 2008–09 he helped Barcelona achieve the first treble in Spanish football; that year, aged 22, Messi won his first Ballon d'Or.
Celtic were the first British team to win the treble in 1966/67, whilst Ajax (1971/72), PSV (1987/88) and Inter Milan (2009/10) have also completed the extraordinary feat. Manchester City secured the first domestic treble in English football in 2018/19 with Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup victories.
Jürgen Klopp's team are chasing a quadruple and may yet surpass the efforts of the Liverpool side of the 1983-84 season, but they are unlikely to have as much fun along the way.
In the 1998–99 season, he was part of the United team that won the treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, a unique feat in English football until Manchester City's 2022–23 season.
No, Cristiano Ronaldo has never won a treble. A treble is when a team wins the domestic league, the domestic cup, and the Champions League in the same season.
Arsenal have also defeated Manchester City in league competition on 87 occasions, which represents the most Manchester City have lost against any club.
City secured three trophies in the 2022/23 season, via the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, but they lost out in the EFL Cup and the Community Shield. Southampton beat City in the EFL Cup quarterfinals and Guardiola's team lost out to Liverpool in the season curtain raiser in August.
Sir Alex Ferguson is widely regarded as the greatest manager in football history, with 49 trophies won during his time at Manchester United. Pep Guardiola has already won an impressive 37 trophies and is likely to continue competing for the top spot in managerial success.
Scottish club Celtic did managed it in the 1966/67 season. Jock Stein's side won the European Cup, Scottish First Division, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup, to complete a foursome of major trophies.
The Red Devils won the Premier League, FA Cup and the Champions League but were knocked out of the League Cup in the fifth round by Tottenham. After this disappointment, Sir Alex Ferguson's side blasted through the rest of the season, but even they couldn't manage to win the quadruple.
So that explains why European giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus have all never previously won the Quadruple. Paris Saint-Germain did, though, recently come within a whisker of pulling it off under Thomas Tuchel, only to fall agonisingly at the final hurdle.
It involves a team winning their domestic league, continental competition, and both domestic cups. It's worth pointing out that, with these criteria, teams from Spain, Italy, Germany and France cannot win a quadruple.
