How many clubs have won the sextet in football history

The sextet refers to a rare achievement where a club wins six major titles within a calendar year or within a single season. It is a mark of exceptional breadth and depth across domestic and international competitions. Real Madrid has pursued the feat in recent seasons but encountered hurdles in domestic finals, illustrating how elusive the sextet can be. The pursuit itself underscores a club’s ability to compete on multiple fronts and maintain peak performance across different formats and opponents.

To date, only two clubs have completed the sextet: Barcelona in 2009 and Bayern Munich in 2020. Other teams have come close, reaching four or five titles in a given period, but the six-trophy milestone remains a rarity.
