In history, there are only three goalkeepers who have won the triple crown as the main force and the World Cup or European Cup championship.

First explain the two details in the title. First, the four words "as the main force" are of course aimed at Valdes. In terms of honor, Valdes is also a Grand Slam, winning the triple championship at Barcelona and the European Cup in the national team; but the problem is that Valdes has been suppressed by Cassi in the Spanish national team, and Spain has won three consecutive major championships. Cassi is the last winner. He is not only the main goalkeeper, but also the captain. So, today's topic has nothing to do with Valdes.

Second, mentioned the World Cup and the European Cup, but did not mention the Copa America. In my opinion, the influence of the Copa America is far from that of the World Cup and European Cup. In recent years, South American teams have begun to pay attention to the Copa America, but in the past, players like Ronaldo were simply disdainful of participating in the Copa America after they became successful. Can you imagine who can face the European Cup with such an attitude?

Okay, I've finished explaining, let's talk about the source of this topic - it must be aimed at Donaruma.

Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germa swept Inter Milan 5:0, and Donnarumma finally became the Champions League champion goalkeeper. Don’t forget that in addition to winning the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain has also achieved a triple-champion dominance this season. So Donarumma also became a goalkeeper at the triple crown level. Yes, the Champions League championship is not enough. The club category must be the ultimate, that is, the triple crown.

Moreover, in 2021, Donaluma won the European Cup.

has won both the triple crown and the World Cup or European Cup. Is this experience very common for a goalkeeper? Obviously not. Looking at the history of European football, there are only three who have done this so far. Donarumma is the third one.

So, who were the two before Donaruma?

The first one is Neuer. Neuer won the triple crown twice with Bayern, and he is both the main players. In addition, in the 2014 World Cup, Neuer put on a yellow robe and became the World Cup champion goalkeeper.

For so many years, Neuer has been regarded as the world's number one goalkeeper. In addition to his pioneering goalkeeper's style of playing, more importantly, he is full of honors, including the treble champion and national team competition champion.

So, who was the earliest one?

In fact, there are not many triple champions in European football history. Paris Saint-Germain is the 11th, and two of them have won twice, Bayern and Barcelona. In other words, there are only 9 Triple Crown Teams that have appeared in history. Moreover, it is not that easy to have intersections with the national team championship. In history, the first goalkeeper to do this, maybe everyone is almost forgetting him.

Schmeichel.

Speaking of Schmeichel, what impressed everyone the most was of course the 1998-99 season, when he and Manchester United won the triple-championship. But don't forget that as early as the 1992 European Cup, Schmeichel completed the fairy tale of winning the championship with Denmark. It is because Denmark is not a traditional strong team, so we don’t have too deep impressions and it is easy to miss this item.

Schmeichel is a very lucky goalkeeper. First of all, I don't think Schmeichel was the best goalkeeper in the world in the 1990s. But first, in 1992, he and Denmark caught the big cheaper to replace Yugoslavia. Secondly, the process of Manchester United's triple-championship in the 1998-99 season was full of miracles, especially in the Champions League final, where they performed a golden three-minute move to reverse Bayern.

is not a top priority. In the future, there will definitely be goalkeepers to do this. So, who do you think it will be?
