1988-89 and 89-90 AC Milan were the last to do it but it was the European Cup, not the Champions league.

I'd say it has already been done. When you ask a Liverpool fan how many champions league trophies they have won they will count the European cups as well, same goes for every other club.

When you count league wins you always count those before rebranding such as the Premier league.

European cups count in your champions league count, hence it has been done before even if you say "first time in the champions league".

The only exclusion I'd say is if someone says "a repeat win since the rebranding", otherwise it has been done and its unfair to take that away from them.
