What is a treble in Football Terms?
The treble we're talking about is not merely winning three trophies in a single season. For example, lifting the UEFA Cup (Europa League), League Cup, and FA Cup - as Liverpool did in 2000/01 under Gerard Houllier - is not going to cut the mustard when discussing the all-time great outfits.
No, a treble is when a side wins their domestic league, primary domestic cup (FA Cup, Coppa Italia, Copa del Rey, DFB-Pokal, etc), and the Champions League.
