Since the 21st century, there are only three teams in the five major leagues, and have completed four consecutive domestic cup championships.

Stuttgart 4:2 Bielefeld, Paris Saint-Germain 3:0 Reims, just the finals of the German Cup and French Cup. Do you have a feeling that this is a one-sided showdown in two strengths? Just looking at the score, you can feel the gap between the two sides. When looking at the league rankings of both sides, it is even more obvious. Needless to say, Paris Saint-Germain is the French Ligue 1 giant, and Reims has historical background, but he is currently doing very poorly and may even go to the French Ligue 2, depending on their upgraded play-offs with Metz. So, this is a match between the Ligue 1 class leader and the Ligue 1 underachievers.

Although Stuttgart is only in the middle of the Bundesliga this season, they are still giants in front of Bielefeld, because the latter is just a team that has just been promoted from Germany C to the Bundesliga.

Then, let's recall the other cup finals of the five major leagues. Except for the King's Cup, which is the peak showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the other games are either one-sided, with clear strength and weakness, or both teams are not very awesome. For example, in the FA Cup, is Manchester City a little different in strength against Crystal Palace? Of course, Crystal Palace defeats the strong with weak is a later story. In the Italian Cup, Milan seems to have improved the foundation of the finals, but isn’t Milan now just a Serie A mid-range team? They can't even fight in the European game next season. Bologna is in the upper middle level in Serie A this season, so this is a cup final that cannot represent the highest level in Serie A.

Having said so much, I just want to explain that the five major leagues are getting more and more popular now. The strong teams are already a little overwhelmed in dealing with the Champions League and the league, so they can no longer achieve the best form in the Cup. This also gives some second-tier and third-tier teams the opportunity to fight the cup. If German-C teams like Bielefeld can reach the finals, you can taste it carefully. Moreover, this is not accidental. Kaiserslautern, who reached the German Cup final last season, was a German second-tier team at the time.

Are you not strong teams unable to win the Cup championship, such as Barcelona and Paris, aren’t they typical? However, the participants in the intra-roll of the five major leagues are not only the giants, but also the second-strong teams and even the weak teams. Everyone influences each other in an inclined context. From this perspective, it is becoming increasingly difficult for a strong team to win the domestic Cup championship, let alone defend the title. There are 11 consecutive championships in the league, Bayern has as many as 11 times, Juventus has 9 times, and Lyon has 7 times, but it would be nice to have three consecutive championships in the Cup. If it can win four consecutive championships, it would be rare.

Since the 21st century, there have been only three teams in the five major leagues and have completed four consecutive domestic cup championships.

The first one is Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain has basically dominated the Ligue 1 in the past decade. During this period, it was only interrupted by Monaco and Lille for two consecutive championships, so Paris Saint-Germain has only achieved four consecutive championships in the Ligue 1 at most. Coincidentally, Paris Saint-Germain won the French Cup and the French Cup record four times, from the 2014 to the 2015 season, to the 2017 to the 2018 season.

The second one is Juventus. Juventus' glory period was the period of 9 consecutive championships in Serie A, during which their energy basically enveloped Serie A. They reached the Champions League finals from the 14th to 15th season, and they brought the domestic double championships to the team, but unfortunately they lost to Barcelona, ​​who also participated in the double championships and failed to complete the triple-championship.

However, during this period, Juventus won four consecutive championships in the Italian Cup, and in terms of time, it completely coincides with Paris Saint-Germain.

The third one is Barcelona. After Barcelona won the triple-champion in the 2014-2015 season, it started a small era of four consecutive championships in the Copa del Rey. Coincidentally, their four consecutive championships also coincide with Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

Of course, in ancient times, Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao also completed four consecutive championships in the Cup of Rey in the Black and White period, but the distance from now is too far, so I won’t say much.

The same thing, unless you catch up with the peak of the triple-championship, any wealthy club in the future may have to abandon other fronts if they want to complete the four consecutive domestic cup championships. After all, the intra-roll of the five major leagues is becoming more and more serious.
