History
2005-2006 Campaign
After a stellar 2005-2006 campaign in La Liga, Osasuna made history by finishing in a brilliant fourth place, synonymous with European Champions League in the following season. 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 better goal average.
