EspañolCA OSASUNA
(Redirected from Osasuna)
'Club Atlético Osasuna', usually known as 'Osasuna', is a Spanish Primera División football club based in Pamplona in Navarra, founded in 1920.
Their home kit is red shirt, navy blue shorts, black socks with red back while their away kit is navy blue shirt, orange shorts and navy blue socks.
Osasuna is Basque for "health".
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 against Sevilla. However, Osasuna didn't make it to the Champions League group phase, as they were eliminated by Hamburger SV in the third qualifying round, leaving them to vie in the UEFA Cup for the fifth time in their history.
Osasuna were drawn in Group D of the UEFA Cup along with Italian side Parma, French side Lens, Danish side Odense and Dutch side Heerenveen. They successfully qualified to the knock-out stage, finishing 2nd in their group and were drawn against Bordeaux, who had dropped into the UEFA Cup following an unsuccessful Champions League campaign. Osasuna progressed 1-0 on aggregate, drawing 0-0 in France before winning 1-0 in Pamplona.
Next up for Osasuna were Scottish side Rangers, and the Spanish side again progressed, following a 1-1 draw in Scotland and a 1-0 win in Spain.
People were starting to take notice of Osasuna's success in the campaign, and they were drawn against German giants Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals. Regarded as severe underdogs, Osasuna not only progressed to the Semi's but did so in some style. A 3-0 win in Germany had virtually sealed the tie, but Osasuna made sure of it with a 1-0 win back in Pamplona. In the semi's they were drawn against current holders, and fellow Spanish side, Sevilla. 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 - Espanyol and became winners on penalties.
