Sevilla aim to become the first side to lift the Europa League for a fourth time when they take on Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in Warsaw on Wednesday night. We take a look back at the last five finals.

2014: Sevilla 0-0 Benfica (aet, Sevilla win 4-2 on pens)

Goalkeeper Beto made two penalty saves in the shoot-out, denying Oscar Cardozo and Rodrigo. Carlos Bacca, Stephane Mbia and Coke all converted their spot-kicks, leaving Kevin Gameiro to stroke in the winner.

2013: Chelsea 2-1 Benfica

Fernando Torres gave Chelsea the lead on the hour-mark but Cardozo levelled eight minutes later. Branislav Ivanovic then headed in the winner in added time.

2012: Atl Madrid 3-0 Ath Bilbao

This all-Spanish final was as good as over by half time as Atletico picked up the trophy for the second straight season through goals from Radamel Falcao and Diego.

2011: Porto 1-0 Braga

Falcao’s header on the stroke of half time took his season tally to 17 in the competition and completed a treble for manager Andre Villas-Boas’s side.

2010: Atl Madrid 2-1 Fulham (aet)

Fulham made it to the final after beating the likes of Juventus, Wolfsburg and Hamburg. But in the final, Diego Forlan scored both Atletico’s goals for a win.
