Sevilla's quest for four consecutive Europa League titles in as many appearances in the competitions came to an end following a 6-5 aggregate defeat to Slavia Praha in the Round of 16 in the 2018-19 edition of the competition.

Earlier in the season, the Andalusian club came through three rounds of qualifying to top their group, and beat Lazio 3-0 on aggregate in the Round of 32.

In 2019-20, Sevilla were the only team to win five games in the group-stage of the Europa League, with their lone European defeat of the season coming on Matchday 6 against Qarabag.

Among teams to have played over 10 European club competition games during the year, Sevilla's 70% win rate (7 wins out of 10) is equaled by only one other club, while their 6 clean sheets are only dwarfed by Chelsea and Barcelona (7 apiece).
