CA Osasuna is a club with a history, an identity and a fan base like no other. A club that represents a region and culture so uniquely, refusing to play on any other terms but their own.

Only problem is, they've never won anything!

So when the club qualified for only their second-ever Copa Del Rey final in their 103 year history, we had to be there to witness such a special moment.

This isn’t just David v Goliath, it’s more than that. It’s Once In A Lifetime.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the latest episode of the award winning series, 'Once In A Lifetime' a show that takes an anthropological dive into the football clubs and fanbases you don't know about, but really should, as they face the prospect of a rare chance at finally winning something.

We missed you Eli. Respect to Osasuna fans from a PAOK FC fan. Pablo Garcia will always be the connecting link between us

Eli and Copa90's production team have mastered the ability to analyze a city or region's culture through the lens of football. I will never not be excited when I see these documentaries pop up on my feed. Incredible job once again and how can you not love football?

I bleed red, I bleed Osasuna. As a fan of this club through generations of my family, this documentary has easily been the most touching thing I have ever watched on YouTube. I cannot thank you enough for this beautiful work that you have done to show the world how incredible my club is. GORA OSASUNA

These are clubs that really are "More then just a club".

I never knew Dave (Azpi) was from Navara but now it makes so much sense and explains so much about him his character and his career

It’s so cool that I’m able to learn about places I never would have even thought about if it weren’t for these quality videos. The history and passion that seeps through the screen is really potent that’s for damn sure. I think this feeling represents the duality of loving where you come from and the team that represents it ❤

Copa 90 have such a incredible ability to make me fall in love with clubs that I'd only ever follow occasionally through a betting slip. I'm not afraid to admit that this series has left me close to tears on many occasions either. Each episode is poetry of the highest order.

What an incredible story, club and fan base. Eli and the team have done a brilliant job with this. I hope that one day Osasuna get that long awaited trophy

I have got a goosebump while watching this video and knew them ever since I was a child during the 2000's where they have created many memories,most notably their numerous shocks on Barcelona and Real Madrid and I fully like them daily and ever,good friends!!!I fully salute their respective supporters of the Navarra state which is the original Basque country who have stood with the team through happiness and sadness and almost finally won their first ever trophy in their history!!!Even when the club failed to do so,the passion and support of the club must go on ever and "fighters" in a supportive way sum up how brave to stand up without even showing any fear,good friends!!!LONG LIVE OSASUNA!!!🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️

I just started following Osasuna. Glad to be a fan! ❤️

@myguyTrevorSabo 2 years ago

as an MLS fan i love hearing stories of other teams than the big names we are used to having shoved down our throats! This was very well done and the history portion of this and the non-sports side of it was so interesting! Thank you Osasuna for sharing your story with us!

@TheMarkieHD 2 years ago

Eli and the Copa 90 team always deliver top quality, thank you for sharing these stories

@damonclippinger748 2 years ago

As someone from Columbus Ohio, and therefore a Crew fan, and as someone who a few years ago adopted Osasuna as my Spanish club, how the hell am I just now finding this channel?!?!?

@capello85 2 years ago

Amazing documentary. As Real Madrid supporter born in Madrid , I admire Osasuna's supporters and club culture. The most difficult game away every season in El Sadar.
