Doubles, Trebles and Quadruples
Double, called Dobradinha, in the context of Portuguese football, means winning the Primeira Liga (Premier League, previously Primeira Divisão) and the Taça de Portugal (Cup of Portugal) in the same season. Since the creation of the Taça da Liga (League Cup) in the 2007–08 season, a variation of the Primeira Liga and Taça da Liga victories can be counted as a Double. The first double was achieved by Sporting in 1941 and the most recent by Porto in 2011.
The Treble usually refers either winning the domestic treble of League and the two cup comptitions or winning the UEFA Champions League (formerly the European Cup) in the same season as achieving a double. No Portuguese club has ever achieved either of the two combinations, in spite of both Benfica and Porto coming close. Porto has, however, achieved another version of the Treble twice: in 2003 winning the League, Cup and UEFA Cup and in 2011 winning the League, Cup and UEFA Europa League. The Quadruple refers to winning the league title, UEFA Champions League (formerly the European Cup) as well as both cup competitions. This feat has never been achieved by a Portuguese club to date.
