Football is filled with endless debates over which club has the most passionate fanbase, but Osasuna can justifiably claim that their supporters are the loudest.
In 2009, their El Sadar home recorded a Spanish-record 115.17-decibel roar as the home side were cheered on to a famous victory over Real Madrid to avoid relegation.

Saturday’s clash in Seville will be just their second ever Copa del Rey final, having been edged out by Real Betis in 2005. That was during a golden era for the club; the following year they finished fourth in La Liga and in 2007, they were semi finalists in the UEFA Cup.
