Arsenal's dreams of completing a historic quadruple in the 2025-26 season were ended by a Carabao Cup final defeat against Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta's side would've become only the second side in European history to win the 'true' quadruple, which consists of the European Cup, domestic league, domestic cup and domestic league cup in the same season. The other team to do so is one of Britain's biggest clubs.
A Nico O'Reilly brace ended their dreams at Wembley Stadium, but the Gunners are still active in the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League, meaning they could win a treble. They'll need to overcome a six-year trophy drought if they are to do so.

The only team in Europe to have ever won the quadruple, including the trophies already mentioned, is Celtic. The Scottish giants are one of the most successful teams of all time, and their historic 1966-67 campaign plays a big part in that.
Jock Stein's famous 'Lisbon Lions' secured European Cup glory with a 2–1 victory over Inter Milan at Lisbon’s Estadio Nacional. The Glasgow-based outfit added that to the trophy cabinet alongside the Scottish First Division, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup that season.

French club Paris Saint-Germain have actually lifted four or more trophies in multiple campaigns. The Parisians did so in the 2014–15, 2015–16, 2017–18, and 2019–20 seasons. However, along with Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue, they won France's equivalent of the Super Cup or Community Shield. This doesn't count towards a 'true' quadruple.

The 2024-25 Champions League winners also scooped Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France in the same season, but missed out on the Coupe de la Ligue. Other clubs to have won four trophies in the same term are Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Porto.
Away from the quadruple, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Ajax and Manchester City have all completed the treble. United's success in 199 was particularly famous, while their neighbours matched the feat under Pep Guardiola in 2023.
