The Germans won the double for the first time, starting with the European Championship. 1972: European Champion, then 1974: World Champion (on home soil, they defeated the Netherlands 2–1 in the final).
The French took the opposite path: they ascended to the European throne after the World Cup title. 1998: World Champion (on home soil, defeating Brazil 3–0). 2000: European Champion (defeating Italy 2–1 with a golden goal).
The "golden generation" of Spanish football achieved the only treble in football history, winning three major tournaments in a row. 2008: European Champion (1–0 against Germany). 2010: World Champion (1–0 against the Netherlands in extra time). 2012: European Champion (4–0 against Italy in a knockout match).
2024: European Champion (defeating England 2–1 in the final). 2026: World Champion
So they won five major tournaments from 2008. and nothing before that.
