Sevilla finished 5th in La Liga in the 2005-06 season, and by virtue of this (and also by having won the competition the previous year), Sevilla qualified for the first round of the 2006-07 UEFA Cup. Sevilla won that matchup against the Greek side Atromitos and proceeded into the group stage of the competition, where the Andalusian side finished second in the group of five. In the knockout stage that followed this, Sevilla emerged victorious against Steaua Bucureşti, Shakhtar Donetsk, Tottenham Hotspur, and CA Osasuna to qualify for its second consecutive UEFA Cup final.
Sevilla almost didn't survive the last 16 clash with Shaktar Donetsk, in which Sevilla's keeper Andrés Palop scored off a header in injury time to force extra-time against the Ukrainian side. Sevilla ended up winning the game, beating Shaktar 5-4 on aggregate. On 16 May 2007, in the final held in Glasgow, Scotland, Sevilla defeated fellow Spanish side RCD Espanyol on penalties (regular time score 2-2), for its second consecutive UEFA Cup title. Sevilla became only the second team to successfully defend the competition title, following Real Madrid, who achieved this feat in 1985 and 1986.
