round ended Sparta's involvement in the competition for this season. 2010–11 Europa League Baník Ostrava was the only Czech team involved in the second qualifying round of the Europa League. They got past Georgian side WIT Georgia with a 0–0 second leg result, having won the first match 6–0. In the third round, Viktoria Plzeň and Jablonec also entered the competition, however all three Czech teams lost: Baník Ostrava 3–1 on aggregate to Belarus side Dnepr Mogilev, Viktoria Plzeň 4–1 on aggregate to Turkish club Beşiktaş, and Jablonec also 4–1 on aggregate to APOEL of Cyprus. Sparta Prague qualified for the group stage of the Europa League due to their performance in the Champions League. With results of two wins, three draws and one loss, they finished second in Group F, behind CSKA Moscow (Russia) but ahead of Palermo (Italy) and Lausanne Sport (Switzerland). They therefore advanced to the knockout phase of the competition. English side Liverpool provided the opposition; after a goalless first game in Prague, a single goal from striker Dirk Kuyt eliminated Sparta from the Europa League, 1–0 in the match and on aggregate.
