Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA competition. • Liverpool's 34 UEFA games against Spanish opposition have ended W14 D10 L10 (W5 D6 L5 at Anfield – W7 D4 L5 in Spain). Those matches include two final victories on neutral territory: 1-0 against Real Madrid CF in the 1981 European Champion Clubs' Cup in Paris and 5-4 after extra time against Deportivo Alavés in the 2001 UEFA Cup in Dortmund. • Sevilla's eight UEFA meetings with English sides have ended W3 D2 L3 (W2 D0 L1 at home – W0 D2 L2 in England). These games include a 4-0 success against Middlesbrough FC in the 2006 UEFA Cup final, played on neutral territory in Eindhoven. Final pedigree • Liverpool have won three UEFA Cups (in 1973, 1976 and 2001); they need one more to match Sevilla's record of four successes in this competition. • Sevilla are the first club to contest the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League final for three seasons running. • They landed the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League for a record fourth time last term – and a second time in succession. No team have won three consecutive editions of a major UEFA competition since FC Bayern München's third straight European Champion Clubs' Cup in 1975/76. • Neither side have lost a UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League final, though it took penalties to settle two of Sevilla's deciders. • In terms of continental pedigree, Liverpool eclipse Sevilla: they have won the European Cup five times to Sevilla's none, and also have the upper hand in terms of UEFA Super Cups (3-1). • Liverpool's last UEFA Cup win, in 2001, came against Spanish opponents, a remarkable 5-4 extra-time win against Alavés in Dortmund. At that time, Sevilla had never won a European competition, and were plying their trade in Spain's second tier. • Victory for Sevilla would be a tenth UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League win for Spain, lifting them above Italy as the competition's most successful nation. Liverpool are bidding for England's eighth triumph. • No members of the current Liverpool squad have won a UEFA competition with the club; no current Sevilla player has appeared in more than two of the club's four final wins in this competition. • Sevilla will be bidding to become the third club to have won the UEFA Europa League after transferring from the UEFA Champions League group stage after Club Atlético de Madrid (2010) and Chelsea FC (2013).
