Celtic Are the Only British Club to Complete the ‘True’ Quadruple
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.
Carabao Cup Final: Why Declan Rice Was Booed During Arsenal vs Man City
Declan Rice was booed during his first-ever domestic cup final appearance, and Gary Neville had plenty to say about it.
Outside of Europe, Santos won the Campeonato Paulista, Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup. This was all the way back when Brazil’s greatest-ever player, Pele, was plying his trade in the iconic 1962 side.
Clubs to Have Won Four Trophies in One 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.
10 Managers With the Most Trophies in Football History (Ranked)
Some managers could not stop winning trophies in their career from Sir Alex Ferguson to Luiz Felipe Scolari to Valeriy Lobanovskyi.
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.

WWE to Add New Member to The Vision After Logan Paul’s Injury
It’s been just over a year since The Vision formed in WWE, but Paul Heyman’s faction hasn’t exactly had the best of luck. Significant injuries have halted the progress of both Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, with the latter still sidelined.
Now, Logan Paul is set to be out for several months after tearing his triceps at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Paul and Austin Theory competed in the main event of the TV special over the weekend, putting the World Tag Team Championships on the line against the Street Profits. Paul and Theory successfully defended the titles against one of WWE’s most successful tag teams, but it came at a cost. Paul suffered his triceps tear during an aerial spot with Angelo Dawkins, which provided enough of a distraction for Theory to pick up the win uninterrupted.
WWE Plans For The Vision After Logan Paul’s Injury
With Paul sidelined, WWE has already moved to make on-screen changes. WWE has already confirmed that any two members of The Vision will be able to defend the tag belts. In addition, according to a backstage report, the new Vision member is set to join the faction’s ranks shortly.
Veteran journalist Dave Meltzer leaked the promotion’s plans during his review of this week’s WWE Raw on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer stated that The Vision were planning to bring in a new female member in a somewhat unexpected storyline twist.
“They’re going to get […] Maxxine [Dupri],” Meltzer revealed. “Which they pretty much teased on the show tonight. If you watch […] cause I mean, they did the thing where he [Theory] was leaving, and then he walks by Maxxine and Tozawa and Otis and then, all of a sudden, she goes, ‘I’ve got to go now.’ So the idea is when he left, she was leaving. But it’s like you’re not supposed to know that they’re leaving together.”
Maxxine Dupri was one of the surprise packages of 2025. After breaking away from the Chad Gable-led Alpha Academy faction with long-time allies Otis and Akira Tozawa, Dupri began to build momentum as an in-ring competitor. The mentorship of WWE veteran Natalya bolstered Dupri, transforming her from a ringside supporter to an aggressive challenger. This led to one of the biggest upsets of the year, as Dupri toppled Becky Lynch to become WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion last November. This followed two previous victories over Lynch via count-out and disqualification.
But since losing the title back to Lynch, and losing a feud to former mentor Natalya, Dupri’s momentum has slowed significantly. The 29-year-old hasn’t wrestled on Raw since March. But it seems that her recruitment to The Vision is about to see her featured in a major way moving forward.
Dupri was spotted in the background of several backstage segments with Austin Theory during her feud with Natalya. It implied that The Vision member was actively hoping to pry her away from Otis and Tozawa to bolster his own group’s waning numbers. Dupri will be desperate to recapture the momentum that won her the Intercontinental title. Notably, she is also lacking guidance following Natalya’s betrayal. Her alignment with The Vision might just be the move to positively change her direction.

Every Premier League Club’s Total Prize Money and Earnings in 2025-26
It’s been revealed how much prize money every club competing in the 2025-26 Premier League season has earned.
While all 20 clubs receive a certain amount of money depending on where they finish in the Premier League table, that doesn’t paint the whole picture in terms of their total earnings.
Arsenal won the title for the first time in 22 years, eventually finishing seven points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool sealed the three remaining Champions League spots, while Bournemouth and Sunderland secured a place in next season’s Europa League. Brighton clinched a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers, while Chelsea missed out on Europe altogether.
And at the opposite end of the table, Tottenham narrowly avoided relegation at the expense of West Ham, who join Burnley and Wolves in the Championship.
The Athletic have calculated how much prize money every Premier League team earned this season based on information provided by various club sources across the division.
Every club received an equal share of £31.9 million (UK) and £56.6 million (international) for competing in the Premier League. However, the clubs then received different amounts based on facility fees and merit payments.
Lowest Earners (20th-11th)
It won’t come as a huge surprise to learn that Wolves were the lowest earners this season, closely followed by Burnley. However, the two relegated sides both pocketed a cool £117.7 million and £118.1 million, respectively.
West Ham’s total tally was £128.6 million, despite failing to beat the drop, while Tottenham banked £135.8 million.
Other clubs in the bottom half of the prize money table are Newcastle (£154.2 million), Everton (£147.7 million) and Leeds United (£144.5 million).

Highest Earners (10th-1st)
Arsenal earned just shy of £200 million during their Premier League title-winning campaign.
Manchester City (£192.5 million) and Manchester United (£191.5 million) were only separated by £1 million, while Aston Villa needed £182.6 million.
Liverpool were the red-hot Premier League favourites back in August but could only manage a fifth-place finish under Arne Slot. The Reds still earned £181.8 million in total, though.
Sunderland exceeded all expectations and took home a huge £168.2 million, while Chelsea still got £162.6 million despite a hugely underwhelming campaign.

Surprise English Club Clear Favourites to Sign Jamie Vardy With Wrexham Also in Frame
A surprise English club has emerged as the clear favourites to sign Jamie Vardy, who is leaving Cremonese when his contract expires this summer.
The former England striker made the emotional decision to leave Leicester City last summer and make the move to the Serie A outfit.
Cremonese were hoping that Vardy would score enough goals for them to retain their status in Italy’s top tier. La Cremo enjoyed a great start to the campaign as they tasted defeat in just four of their opening 14 matches.
A horror run of form saw them slip into the relegation zone, though. Despite winning two of their final three matches, the club finished 18th and dropped back down to Serie B.
Vardy, who recorded seven goals and three assists in 29 matches this season and became the first English player to win the Serie A Player of the Month award, has made the decision to leave the club following their relegation and will become a free agent.
Clear Favourites Emerge in Race to Sign Jamie Vardy
BBC Sport have reported that Vardy, now 39 years old, is still enjoying his football and believes he can continue playing at a high level.
BettingLounge have now revealed the 12 favourites to sign Vardy this summer, with a return to the United Kingdom on the cards.
Hull City, who secured their promotion to the Premier League with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final, have been given odds of 28/1.
Hearts are on the lookout for a new striker after losing Laurence Shankland to Rangers and could turn to Vardy as his replacement.
West Ham United, who will play in England’s second tier next season after suffering relegation from the Premier League, have been given odds of 10/1.
Wrexham are fifth favourites to sign Vardy, while Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers are fourth and third respectively.
The bookies think he could make a sensational return to Leicester, who he played for between 2012-2025, scoring 200 goals in 500 appearances in the process.
Sheffield Wednesday, the club who Vardy supported as a child and still does today, are the clear favourites. Vardy played for the Owls in his youth before being released at 15 years old. They are currently leading the race for his signature, but whether they can get a deal done remains to be seen.

Vardy and his wife, Rebekah, have a large family with six children in total. They have had three children together, as well as one daughter from Jamie’s previous relationship and two children from Rebekah’s previous relationships.
Speaking to SPORTbible earlier this month, Vardy said he wants to keep playing for as long as he can, and then intends to spend time with his kids after retiring. He said:
“While my legs are still saying they’re fine, I’ll carry on. But there will come a time when the legs say ‘this ain’t happening anymore’ and that’s when I definitely need to call it quits.”
He added: “The main thing for me is, you sacrifice so much during a football career on things you miss out. And I think when it comes to, I’m finished with football side of things, I want to make sure that I can spend some quality time with my wife and kids.
“It’s something that I’ve missed – big chunks of them growing up at different ages and things like that. So I don’t want to be missing anymore. The kids, they love coming to watch me play football, and it’s a real enjoyment for them.”
