UEFA Cup and Europa League records and statistics

This page details statistics of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League. Unless notified these statistics concern all seasons since inception of the UEFA Cup in the 1971–72 season, including qualifying rounds.[1] The UEFA Cup replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in the 1971–72 season, so the Fairs Cup is not considered a UEFA competition, and hence clubs' records in the Fairs Cup are not considered part of their European record.[2]

Bold = Ongoing streak

Undefeated champions

• The only teams in UEFA Cup history to win the tournament undefeated are Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Mönchengladbach, IFK Göteborg (twice), Ajax, Galatasaray, Feyenoord, and Chelsea.
• Benfica (in 2013–14) and Espanyol (in 2006–07) were undefeated in the competition, despite losing the final on penalties.

Consecutive wins

• Atlético Madrid hold the record of most consecutive wins (both home and away) with 15 spanning the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons.

Miscellaneous records

• Only four clubs have won the treble of their national league championship, domestic cup competition and the UEFA Cup all in same season. They are:
  • Porto (2003, 2011)
  • IFK Göteborg (1982)
  • Galatasaray (2000)
  • CSKA Moscow (2005)
• 12 clubs have won their national league championship and the UEFA Cup in the same season. They are:
  • Liverpool (1973, 1976)
  • IFK Göteborg (1982, 1987)
  • Porto (2003, 2011)
  • Feyenoord (1974)
  • Borussia Mönchengladbach (1975)
  • Juventus (1977)
  • PSV Eindhoven (1978)
  • Real Madrid (1986)
  • Galatasaray (2000)
  • Valencia (2004)
  • CSKA Moscow (2005)
  • Zenit Saint Petersburg (2008)
• Until 1997, the UEFA Cup was the only European club competition which routinely allocated multiple entrants to many countries. This has led to several finals featuring two clubs from the same country:

Year	Country
1972	England	Tottenham Hotspur	v	Wolverhampton Wanderers
1980	West Germany	Eintracht Frankfurt	v	Borussia Mönchengladbach
1990	Italy	Juventus	v	Fiorentina
1991	Italy	Internazionale	v	Roma
1995	Italy	Parma	v	Juventus
1998	Italy	Internazionale	v	Lazio
2007	Spain	Espanyol	v	Sevilla
2011	Portugal	Porto	v	Braga
2012	Spain	Athletic Bilbao	v	Atlético Madrid
2019	England	Chelsea	v	Arsenal

• During the 1979–80 season, West Germany had five entrants including cup holders Borussia Mönchengladbach. All five managed to reach the quarter-final stage and both semi-finals ended up being all West German affairs. Ultimately, Eintracht Frankfurt defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach in the final. No West German club that season was eliminated by a non-German club.
• During the 1997–98 season, France had seven entrants: Strasbourg as winner of French Coupe de la Ligue, Nantes as third-placed team from French Division 1, FC Girondins de Bordeaux as fourth-placed team from French Division 1, Metz as fifth-placed team from French Division 1, and also Auxerre, Bastia and Lyon as 1997 UEFA Intertoto Cup Group winners. Nevertheless, only one, Auxerre, reach the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by Lazio.
• Two clubs have managed to win consecutive UEFA Cups/Europa League: Real Madrid in 1985 and 1986, and Sevilla (twice) in 2006 and 2007 and then again in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
• The only countries to have won for three consecutive seasons are Italy (twice) and Spain. Italy: between 1988–89 and 1990–91 (Napoli, Juventus, and Internazionale the winners) and between 1992–93 and 1994–95 (Juventus, Internazionale, and Parma). Spain: 2014, 2015 and 2016 (Sevilla)

• Entering both the Champions League and/or its qualifying rounds and the UEFA Cup in the same season has now become so common that a separate statistic of all clubs having done so in three or more consecutive seasons may be of interest (the means of entering the UEFA Cup is indicated in the last column in chronological order, G denoting group stage, q denoting qualifying round):

Entries	Club	Seasons	Stages
6	Shakhtar Donetsk	2000–01 to 2005–06	GqqqGq
3	Rangers	1999–00 to 2001–02	GGq
3	Celtic	2000–01 to 2003–04	GqG
3	Grazer AK	2002–03 to 2004–05	qqq
3	Club Brugge	2002–03 to 2004–05	qGq
3	Wisła Kraków	2003–04 to 2005–06	qqq

• Several times, winning the UEFA Cup was a club's only chance to qualify for European competition in the next season. A win by such a mid-table (and non-domestic-cup-winning) club then led to an extra place in the UEFA Cup for the country in question. The following clubs managed to save their season by winning the UEFA Cup:

Season	Club	Country	Domestic position
1971–72	Tottenham Hotspur	England	6th
1978–79	Borussia Mönchengladbach	West Germany	10th
1979–80	Eintracht Frankfurt	West Germany	9th
1983–84	Tottenham Hotspur	England	8th
1987–88	Bayer Leverkusen	West Germany	8th
1993–94	Internazionale	Italy	13th
1996–97	Schalke 04	Germany	12th
