History

2005/2006 campaign

After a stellar 2005/2006 campaign in La Liga, Osasuna made history by finishing in a brilliant fourth place, synonymous with the chance of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League in the following season through play-off matches. This achievement was made all the more dramatic by the suspense that was maintained until the last day of the championship in which Osasuna and Sevilla FC were both vying for the fourth place. Both teams eventually ended the season with the same number of points but Osasuna got through due to their head-to-head record. However, Osasuna didn't make it to the Champions League group phase, as they were eliminated by Hamburger SVUEFA Cup for the fifth time in their history. in the third qualifying round, leaving them to vie in the


2006/2007 UEFA Cup

Osasuna were drawn in Group D of the UEFA Cup 2006-07 along with Parma F.C., RC Lens, OB Odense and SC Heerenveen. They successfully qualified to the knock-out stage, finishing second in their group, and were drawn against FC Girondins de Bordeaux, who had dropped into the UEFA Cup following an unsuccessful Champions League campaign. Osasuna progressed 1-0 on aggregate, drawing 0-0 away before winning 1-0 in Pamplona.
Next up were Scottish side Glasgow Rangers F.C., and the Spanish side again progressed, following a 1-1 draw in Scotland and a 1-0 win at home. They were drawn against German giants Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals. Regarded as severe underdogs, Osasuna not only progressed to the semifinals but did so in style. A 3-0 win in Germany had virtually sealed the tie, but Osasuna also won the second leg, 1-0.
In the last-four round, Osasuna was drawn against [[UEFA Cup 2005-06|current holders and fellow Spanish side Sevilla FC. Osasuna were 1-0 victors in the 1st leg at home, however the dream ended in the return leg. Sevilla recorded a 2-0 win, and returned to the final of the competition where they played another Spanish side - RCD Espanyol - becoming winners on penalties
