During the 2005–06 Italian football season, Udinese Calcio competed in Serie A, Champions League and the UEFA Cup. In the latter, they were knocked out by Levski Sofia in the Round of 16.[1] The team reached the semi-finals of Coppa Italia, where they were knocked out by Internazionale. The fixture had been moved from its original schedule.[2] In the Champions League, the club finished third in Group C, which meant a transfer to UEFA Cup. Their final game in the group stage on 7 December 2005 was a 2–0 defeat against Barcelona. They tied with Werder Bremen with 7 points in total, but were eliminated due to a worse goal difference (−2).[3]
