★ Until 1997, the UEFA Cup was the only European club competition which routinely alloted multiple entrants to many countries. This has led to several finals featuring two clubs from the same country:

Season	Country
1971/72	England	Tottenham Hotspur	v	Wolverhampton Wanderers
1979/80	West Germany	Eintracht Frankfurt	v	Borussia Mönchengladbach
1989/90	Italy	Juventus	v	Fiorentina
1990/91	Italy	Internazionale	v	Roma
1994/95	Italy	Parma	v	Juventus
1997/98	Italy	Internazionale	v	Lazio
2006/07	Spain	Espanyol	v	Sevilla

★ During the UEFA Cup 1979-80 season, West Germany had five entrants including cup holders Borussia Mönchengladbach. All five managed to reach the quarter-final stage and both semi-finals ended up being all West German affairs. Ultimately, Eintracht Frankfurt defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach in the final. No West German club that season was eliminated by a non-German club.

★ Two clubs have managed to win consecutive UEFA Cups: Real Madrid in 1985 and 1986, and Sevilla FC in 2006 and 2007.

★ The only country to keep it 3 consecutive seasons is Italy, and they did so on two occasions: between 1988/89 and 1990/91 (SSC Napoli, Juventus, and Internazionale the winners) and between 1992/93 and 1994/95 (Juventus, Internazionale, and Parma).

★ 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):

Entries	Club	Seasons
10	Club Brugge	1996/97-2005/06
9	PAOK Thessaloniki	1997/98-2005/06
8	Celtic	1996/97-2003/04
8	Crvena Zvezda Belgrade	1998/99-2005/06
8	CSKA Sofia	1998/99-2005/06

7	Brøndby	1999/00-2005/06
7	FC Vaduz	1999/00-2005/06
6	FC Köln (also in Fairs' Cup 1970/71)	1971/72-1976/77
6	Grasshoppers	1972/73-1977/78
6	Dundee United	1977/78-1982/83
6	Werder Bremen	1982/83-1987/88
6	Internazionale	1983/84-1988/89
6	Rangers	1997/98-2002/03
6	FK Ventspils	2000/01-2005/06
6	Wisła Kraków	2000/01-2005/06

★
★ 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):

Entries	Club	Seasons	Stages
6	Shakhtar Donetsk	2000/01-2005/06	GqqqGq
3	Rangers	1999/00-2001/02	GGq
3	Celtic	2000/01-2003/04	GqG
3	Grazer AK	2002/03-2004/05	qqq
3	Club Brugge	2002/03-2004/05	qGq
3	Wisła Kraków	2003/04-2005/06	qqq

★
★ 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:

Season	Club	Country	Domestic position
1971/72	Tottenham Hotspur	England	6th
1978/79	Borussia Mönchengladbach	West Germany	10th
1979/80	Eintracht Frankfurt	West Germany	9th
1983/84	Tottenham Hotspur	England	8th
1987/88	Bayer Leverkusen	West Germany	8th
1993/94	Internazionale	Italy	13th
1996/97	Schalke 04	Germany	12th

★
★ 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.
