Play in the EC/CL & uefa cup finals?

Was thinking the same but liverpool did this in the 2000s so would have probably been included in the question.

Very warm, but you need to be more specific.

Completed the european treble in those decades?

Billy86

Ah, stumbled on it by accident when I went to double check Bayern hadn't won a CL in the early/mid 90s that I had completely forgotten about or something!

Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) defines a European Treble as the feat of winning, over the club's entire history, all three seasonal club confederation competitions – European Cup/UEFA Champions League, European/UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League.

While the UEFA Cup Winner's Cup no longer exists, there are 28 teams that have won it in the past who could still add wins in the other two competitions to achieve this UEFA treble.

The European Treble has only been achieved by four teams:

Italy Juventus 1976–77 UEFA Cup 1983–84 European Cup Winners' Cup 1984–85 European Cup
Netherlands Ajax 1970–71 European Cup 1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup 1991–92 UEFA Cup
Germany Bayern Munich 1966–67 European Cup Winners' Cup 1973–74 European Cup 1995–96 UEFA Cup
England Chelsea 1970–71 European Cup Winners' Cup 2011–12 UEFA Champions League 2012–13 UEFA Europa League

I'll throw one up so to keep things moving:

Who is the only Premier League player to register a goal, an own goal, an assist and a booking in the same match?

Shouldn't be as hard as the last few.

Nope, wasn't a Stoke player just to narrow it down the tiniest bit.

Jamie Carragher? I know he scored a lot of OGs but can't remember him ever getting an assist.

Not Carragher.

It was indeed, against Liverpool. Bale was absolutely unplayable that night, so good in fact that Lennon took "get the ball to Gareth" to new extremes. :pac:

He must be up there.

Yeah that's the one. Don't know if he holds the actual record but from the top leagues and international matches he tops the list.

Alright then.
Most of you know that brothers Ronald and Erwin Koeman won the euros in 1988 together.

We almost had twins winning a tournament. Who are they?

So Netherlands again?

DeBoer's? At least I think they are twins

inforfun

They are twins.
Never went close to winning a tournament though. Couple of semi finals in 98 en 00. Not even too sure they both played.

And yes, Netherlands again. it is early. Cant think of anything internationally this early
Making them up as i sit here.

The numbers on their shirt were 6 and 9.
Which is rather disturbing when you add that all up.

René & Willy van de Kerkhof. WC78 finalists.

That is them indeed

Jesus Navas could join them if Man City wins the CL this season. What is so special about this band of players/coaches? Who are they (there are 7 of them)?

Yes. In reality, only one won all 5 of them (as a player and a coach). Then 6 won 4 of them. Can you find them all?

Wouldn't have won the UEFA/Europa - EDIT: nevermind, missed iroced's post above.

Jurgen Kohler should be another, I think.

Sammer (UEFA) and Matthaus (CL/EC) came to mind also, but both fall one trophy short.

I can't view signs for some reason? Must be something in the settings.

He had already won one with Juve in 92/93.

Unless I misunderstand this question, surely lots of the Real Madrid and Barcelona players off the World Cup 2010 + Euro 08/12 squads would have 4 of these (just missing the Europa league).

Casillas
Valdez
Puyol
Ramos
Xavi
Iniesta
Villa
Torres
Mata
Pedro
Busquets
Alonso
Arbeloa

Off the top of my head...

Billy86

Might be wrong, but I'm guessing the Super Cup was the one that didn't count, the others being EC, WC, CL, and UEFA/Europa.

Torres has won the Europa League and hasn't played for either of those clubs

He's still won 4 of the competitions.

Red Kev

Torres and Mata have won the big 4, as has Jurgen Kohler, he won a UEFA cup with Juventus.

Beckenbauer won UEFA as a manager as he controversially sacked Otto Rehagel just before the final and took over himself, so he shouldn't count.

The only players who might count are Germans from the 1990 and 1996 teams, French from 1998 and 2000 and Spanish from 2010 and 2008/12.

Dino Zoff won Euros in 1968 and WC in 1982 but never won European Cup.

Kolido

Could be also from the German squads from the 70s. I cant think of any Frence players or Spanish apart from those metioned that have won both European trophies in their given time frame.

Bayern were the only team to win a EC in that time, HSV were next in 1983. Bayern only won the UEFA in 1996, so that discounts them. They did win the Cup Winners Cup back in the late 1960's. Juup Heynckes won a UEFA cup with 'Gladbach, but never won a EC with Bayern as a player.

iroced

Sorry for late reply.

So. Just to be clear. It was about players (and/or players who become coaches) who have won all the major tournaments of their day in Europe. Since C2 & C3 got merged, players who won WC, Euro, C1 & 1 of C2 or C3 were also included. And anyway there's only one who won all 5 of them.

Muff_Daddy got him: Franz Beckenbauer (WC74 & 90 as a coach, Euro72, C2 67, C1 74, 75 & 76 & C3 96 as a coach).

Then, about the 6 other ones, the 2 still active players have been cited. Mata (WC2010, Euro2012, C1 2012 & C3 2013) & Torres (WC2010, Euro 2008 & 2012, C1 2012 & C3 2013).

Now I realise my source (uefa.com) is wrong or at least incomplete since it did not include Jurgen Kohler but he did win all 4 (WC90, Euro96, C3 93 with Juve & C1 97 with Dortmund).

So there's still 4 "older" ones to find. Kolido & Red Kev are right. You have to look at 70ies German players.

- edit -
Actually Red Kev found 1 of them (I did mention players/coaches ). So Jupp Heynckes is a right answer (WC74 though he did not play the final, Euro72, C2 67 & C1 98 with Real Madrid & 2013 with Bayern both as a coach).

Still 3 to find then.

Torres & Mata are the only ones from that bunch to have won the Europa League.

Ah the mention of the super cup was throwing me off. So it could be one from UEFA cup / cup winners cup?

How about Gerd Muller?

Red Kev

Maier, Muller and Schwarzenbeck if you're counting the Cup Winners Cup.

Schwarzenbeck used to have a newsagents near the Deutsche Museum, used to get a paper off him for about 6 months. Nice chap.

Yeah you're both spot on :cool:. Well done!

My source: http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2355422.html.
But, as previously said, it is imcomplete since it doesn't include Jurgen Koehler.

To be honest, I wanted to ask about players who scored in major finals (WC, Euro or Copa America, C1 or Copa Libertadores, C2/C3/EL or Copa Sudamericana. But I lost the podcast of the answers :P... So found this one instead .
