JAKARTA - Spain's victory at Euro 2024 adds to the long list of players who won doubles or double winners at clubs and national teams in the same season.
There are the names Dani Carvajal and Nacho who are now on the list as 11th and 12th players.
Carvajal and Nacho won the 2023/2024 Champions League with Real Madrid and Euro 2024 while defending Spain in the same summer.
This means that Spain's victory over England in the Euro 2024 final thwarted Jude Bellingham's attempt to be on the list.
As is known, Bellingham is Carvajal and Nacho's partner at Real Madrid who won the 2023/2024 Champions League. Unfortunately, he failed to bring England to win Euro 2024.

Carvajal and Nacho follow in the footsteps of the other 10 players who achieved the feat.
To qualify as a European doubles title winner, players must play and win in the finals of major tournaments at the club and European countries level.
Actually there is one more name, namely Joselu. However, he was not played against England. In fact, he was part of Real Madrid when he defeated Borussia Dortmund in the 2023/2024 Champions League final.
Another player in the same fate as Joselu is Wim Kieft. Even though he won the 1988 Champions League with PSV, he did not appear with the Netherlands in the 1988 Euro final.
Former Real Madrid striker Nicolas Anelka is three years old. He was also not played in the Euro 2000 final with France.
Christian Karembeu's fate is worse. He was indeed a member of the squad, but was not played in the 2000 Champions League final when he defended Real Madrid and Euro 2000 in French clothes.
No one has won the Euro and Champions League trophies in the same summer since 1996. The last time the title belonged to Markus Babbel, Thomas Helmer, Thomas Strunz, Christian Ziege, Mehmet Scholl, and Jurgen Klinsmann who defended Germany and Bayern Munich.
In addition to the conditions for winning the Champions League and the Euros in the same season, there are also other conditions to be included in the European doubles title-winning list.
The following requirements are mandatory to play and win the World Cup and Champions League finals.
Well, for this second condition, Christian Karembeu is on the list. He won the 1998 Champions League with Real Madrid and the 1998 World Cup while defending France.
Twenty years later, Raphael Varane followed in the footsteps of Karembeu. He won the Champions League with Real Madrid and the 2018 World Cup in French uniforms.
Varane juga menjadi pemain terakhir yang bisa mencapai predikat itu hingga saat ini.
Sami Khedira almost joined the list in 2014. However, a warm-up injury prevented him from appearing with Germany in the World Cup final against Argentina. Two months earlier, Khedira brought Real Madrid to win the Champions League.
