The UEFA Europa League, formerly the UEFA Cup, is an association football competition established in 1971 by UEFA. It is considered the second most important international competition for European clubs, after the UEFA Champions League. Clubs qualify for the Europa League based on their performance in national leagues and cup competitions. For the first 25 years of the competition, the final was contested over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium, but in 1998, Internazionale defeated Lazio in the competition's first single-legged final held at a neutral venue, the Parc des Princes in Paris. Tottenham Hotspur won the inaugural competition in 1972, defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3–2 on aggregate. Nine finals have featured teams from the same national association: Italy (1990, 1991, 1995 and 1998), Spain (2007 and 2012), England (1972), Germany (1980) and Portugal (2011). Sevilla holds the record for the most victories, having won the competition four times since its inception. Real Madrid (winners in 1985 and 1986) and Sevilla (winners in 2006 and 2007; and in 2014 and 2015) are the only teams to have retained their title. Teams from Italy and Spain have won the competition the most times, with nine winners coming from these countries.〔 The last champions before the UEFA Cup was renamed to UEFA Europa League were Shakhtar Donetsk, who beat Werder Bremen 2–1 after extra time in the 2009 final. Benfica hold the record for the most losses in the final of this competition with three. The current champions are Sevilla, who defeated Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk 3–2 in the 2015 final. While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is considered to be the predecessor to the UEFA Cup, UEFA does not recognise it as an official UEFA club competition, and therefore its records are not included in the list. ==Winners== * The "Season" column refers to the season during which the competition was held, and links to the article about that season. * The two-legged final matches are listed in the order they were played. * The "UCL" note by a team means that the team initially competed in the UEFA Champions League for that season (since the 1999–2000 season). * The link in the "Score" column directs to the article about that season's final. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of UEFA Cup and Europa League finals」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
