Sevilla will embark on their latest quest to add yet another Europa League title to their trophy cabinet when they face Roma in tonight’s final in Budapest.
The Spanish outfit are the undisputed kings of the competition having won the title on numerous occasions.
But exactly how many times have Sevilla won the Europa League?
Here is everything you need to know ahead of this evening’s 2022/23 final clash with Jose Mourinho’s men.
How many times have Sevilla won the Europa League?
Sevilla have won the Europa League six times in their history.
This makes them the most successful team in the history of the competition, which was rebranded from the UEFA Cup to the Europa League in 2009/10.
Their first victory came against Middlesbrough in 2005/06 with a 4-0 win in Eindhoven.
Los Nervionenses retained their title a year later with a penalty shootout victory over fellow La Liga side Espanyol.
Sevilla then went seven years without winning the tournament, but when they finally did so again it was the first of an historic treble of wins under Unai Emery
The hat-trick started in 2013/14 with victory over Benfica on penalties.
Ukrainian side Dnipro were beaten 3-2 in the final a year later before the three-peat was completed with a 3-1 win over Liverpool.
Sevilla’s last Europa League trophy arrived in the delayed 2019/20 final, with a late own goal from Romelu Lukaku sealing a 3-2 win over Inter Milan in Cologne.
The triumph three years ago means Sevilla have a perfect record in Europa League finals.
Most titles in Europa League history
- Sevilla – 6
- Liverpool – 3
- Juventus – 3
- Inter Milan – 3
- Atletico Madrid – 3
- Parma – 2
- Chelsea – 2
- Borussia Monchengladbach – 2
Speaking before this year’s final, Sevilla manager Jose Luis Mendilibar insisted the club’s Europa League pedigree will give them an edge in Hungary.
Mendilibar said: ‘I think that Sevilla will be favourites given we have won this competition six times.
Some people prefer to look at the budgets of both sides, others look at their history. However you want to look at it, you can see both sides winning it.
‘And I would not discount Sevilla. I see it 50-50.’
Sevilla’s only other European trophy is the UEFA Super Cup from 2006.
