Paris Saint-Germain have won two European trophies to date – but in the next few weeks could add three more in as many different competitions and join a unique group of clubs.
No club have ever won UEFA's premier prizes for men's, youth and women's football in the same season. Yet on Friday, Paris compete in the UEFA Youth League semi-finals, and they are also through to the same stage of the UEFA Women's Champions League and hope to get past Manchester City on Tuesday to make the men's last four.
Not only that, with Paris having won the defunct UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Intertoto Cup, victories in the UEFA Champions League and subsequent UEFA Super Cup would leave them a UEFA Europa League triumph away from emulating Juventus as the only team to have lifted all of UEFA's current and past men's club trophies. UEFA.com lists the clubs with the most such honours to their names and which can still emulate Juventus.
MEN'S SENIOR CLUB COMPETITIONS (key to abbreviations at foot):
- Have won all five trophies (UCL, UEL, CWC, UIC, SCUP)

(*Atlético qualified for the UEFA Cup via the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2007 but by then there was only one overall Intertoto winner: the team that got furthest in the UEFA Cup, Hamburg)
- Teams that can still emulate Juventus (ie have won CWC & UIC)
