Only 10 Clubs Have Won Both the UEFA Champions League and Europa League – Some Big Names Shockingly Missing

Winning just one European trophy is a dream for many clubs. Still, only 10 have managed the elusive feat of claiming the UEFA Champions League (formerly European Cup) and the UEFA Europa League (formerly UEFA Cup). This exclusive club includes Real Madrid, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Porto, Ajax, and PSV Eindhoven.

What’s surprising is that some of Europe’s most storied giants don’t make the cut. Take AC Milan for instance—winners of 7 Champions League titles, yet they’ve never lifted the Europa League. Even more astonishing is the case of Barcelona: they boast 5 Champions League titles but have never won the second-tier European competition, and the biggest suprise of all, Arsenal, whom have never won any of the two.

Even more ironic is that Sevilla, the most successful team in Europa League history with 7 titles, has never won the Champions League. It’s a case of dominance in one lane but falling short at the summit.

Juventus, Inter, and Chelsea each have two of both trophies, while Liverpool and Bayern have impressive Champions League legacies alongside at least one Europa League title. Porto, Ajax, and PSV complete the list with historical runs that earned them dual European glory.

In the grand narrative of football, it’s not always the biggest names who complete the set. Consistency across decades and adaptability to different competitions set these 10 apart.
