Sure I read the other day that Man City’s win makes England the 2nd country to have two clubs that have done it, the other was Netherlands if I remember correctly.
Saw one today - there's been 10 domestic cup, domestic league, European Cup/Champions League trebles by European clubs, by 8 different teams.
Can you name them? One surprised me, I wouldn't have guessed it (so doesn't sound true, but is!).
The obvious are Man City, Man U, Barcelona, Inter, Bayern, Ajax and Celtic.
Can't remember who the other was but i think i read it was in the 80s.
All spot on.
Bonus fact on the last team - they only won 3 matches in the European Cup the year they won it (out of 9 games), and didn't win a game inside normal or extra time after the second round.

Porto?
Just seen this - it was PSV, 1988, was guessed on the previous page!
Technically, they released Baba Rahman a few days after Azpilicueta left, so he was their longest serving player despite last playing for them in 2016.

Yes but on 12th July and today, it’s Ampadu
It was more the "following the release of Azpilicueta" bit that was slightly wrong.
Let's be honest, it was just an excuse for me to bring up Baba Rahman and the fact he was still a Chelsea player 7 years after playing for them!
This will be the first season since 1958-59 when Liverpool do not pick anyone who either had played for them with or under Kenny Dalglish or would go on to play for them under Dalglish.

Great stat this one. Must have been Ian Callaghan for the early 1958-59 I presume.

The insane thing is they gave him a new contract at one point despite no team on this planet of Earth being willing to ever pay a fee for him again

I think so.
Now De Gea has left United it's the first time they won't have one that played under fergie since the early 70s as well. I think it will only be the 3rd season since the 30s that they won't have someone that played for SAF or Matt Busby.

Unless they sign Evans permanently (maybe to mainly play with the u21s like Huddlestone?).

Would it count if he wasn't registered in the squad?

Looking on wiki, Ronald Koeman scored 26 goals that season and he played at centre back!!
Man Utd dont have a single player in their team thats won the Premier League
He's also suffered three relegations in a row.
