[edit] Trivia
- Only 4 teams have achieved the treble of winning the UEFA Cup, their domestic league and domestic cup in the same season, they are:
- 12 teams have won the UEFA Cup and their domestic league in the same season, they are:
- The UEFA Cup traditionally was the only one among the three European trophies which gave most countries multiple entries. This has led to several national finals:
- Never was a single country more dominant than in 1979/80: West Germany had five entrants that year (4 by right, and Borussia Mönchengladbach as the holders - they hadn't qualified for Europe in the Bundesliga), and all five reached the quarterfinals. This necessarily led to (at least) one inter-German tie, and 1.FC Kaiserslautern were eliminated by Bayern München 4-2 on aggregate. But all other German clubs made it past the quarterfinals, giving an all-German semifinal lineup:
- The West Germany v Rest of Europe balance that UEFA Cup makes convincing reading: from 36 matches, the West German teams won 23, drew 7 and lost 6, scoring 74 goals and conceding 29. Typically, the team with the worst record (Eintracht, 8 4 1 3 14-8), who finished lowest of the 5 in the Bundesliga as well, went on to win the trophy. No German team was eliminated by a non-German team in the UEFA Cup that year!
- Only one club has ever retained the UEFA Cup: Real Madrid won it in both 1984/85 and 1985/86.
- If one combines the records of the Fairs' Cup and the UEFA Cup, English clubs won 6 times between 1967/68 and 1972/73.
- The record number of consecutive participations in the UEFA Cup is 10; all teams to play at least 6 consecutive seasons (including eliminations in the qualifying rounds of the tournament proper):
-
- Apart from FC Köln, Vitória FC (Setúbal) also has a series of 7 seasons if we take the Fairs' Cup into account: 1968/69 -1974/75 (3 seasons in the Fairs and 4 in the UEFA Cup).
- 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 (between square brackets the means of entering the UEFA Cup is indicated in chronological order, G denoting group stage, q denoting qualifying round):
-
- Benfica and Panathinaikos had a chance to join this group 2005/06 if they finished third in the Champions League group stage (series started 2003/04), but neither did so. Panathinaikos finished fourth in their group, knocking them out of European competition entirely. Benfica avoided the UEFA Cup completely, finishing second in their group and thereby advancing to the Champions League round of 16.
- 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:
-
- Spurs did it twice; the Germans four times and Internazionale's 1993/94 finish is the worst by any winner of a European club title.
