Which Clubs Have Achieved the Sextuple?
Only a select few clubs in football history have managed to conquer the grueling feat known as the sextuple—winning six major trophies in a single calendar year. It's a rare and monumental achievement that demands excellence across domestic, continental, and international competitions.
Three clubs have reached this elite status: Barcelona, Bayer Munich, and most recently, Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona first etched their name into the history books in 2009 under the visionary management of Pep Guardiola. That year, they claimed La Liga, the UEFA Champions League, the Copa del Rey, the Supercopa de España, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup—a clean sweep of available honors.
Bayer Munich matched the feat in 2020, completing their dominance with wins in the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, UEFA Champions League, DFL-Supercup, UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. Their consistency and depth proved unstoppable.
More recently, Paris Saint-Germain joined the exclusive club by completing their own version of the sextuple in 2023. While the structure of international competition had slightly evolved, PSG won six major trophies, including the Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, and the newly rebranded FIFA Intercontinental Cup, which replaced the Club World Cup as the official world championship title.
While the criteria for what constitutes a "true" sextuple are sometimes debated, especially around the inclusion of certain super cups, there’s no denying the dominance required to pull it off. For now, only these three giants of the game stand in this rarefied air—each having delivered a season of near-perfection.
