Fifteen years ago, in 2005, Sevilla FC started an adventure in the then-named UEFA Cup. Nobody, literally nobody, could have imagined what would come next: 19 finals, including the upcoming Europa League final after last night's stunning comeback against Manchester United.
That final in Eindhoven, on 10th May 2006, would be the start of an unbelievable spell of success which would turn the club into one of the biggest clubs on the continent. Their presence in European competitions would become a regular fixture, both in the UEL and the UCL, securing a seventh season in Europe's elite competition in the last 14 years.
After the first UEFA Cup Final, Sevilla FC would reach another four in less than a decade: 2007, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Five finals, five pieces of silverware. All five UEFA Europa League wins would bring an appearance in the UEFA Super Cup, where they would win the first one against FC Barcelona in 2006 in Monaco.
Ten finals so far. There were another four in the Copa del Rey, with Sevilla FC winning two of them. Those finals came in 2007 and 2010, with a 1-0 win against Getafe at the Bernabéu and a 2-0 win against Atlético de Madrid at the Camp Nou respectively. There were another two appearances in 2016 and 2018, but FC Barcelona came out victorious in both.
All four appearances in the Copa del Rey final secured qualification for the Spanish Super Cup. Sevilla FC won it in 2007 against Real Madrid, including a 5-3 at the Bernabéu in the second leg, but were beaten in the other three finals by FC Barcelona.
Ten European finals, four Copa del Rey finals, four Spanish Super Cup finals and, on Friday, another Europa league final. A final which means Sevilla FC have more European finals this century than any other club, eleven. This beats Real Madrid (10), Liverpool (9), FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid (8).
