contents In this work we consider the focusing, energy-critical wave equation in 3D radial case. It has been verified that any global or type II blow-up solution decomposes into a superposition of several decoupled grounds states, a free wave and a small error, as time tends to infinity or the blow-up time. This is usually called soliton resolution. However, all known examples of soliton resolution in the 3D radial case come with no more than one soliton. In this work we prove the nonexistence of any global or type II blow up solution with two or more solitons, thus give a complete classification of asymptotic behaviours of radial solutions.
