They made a solitary confinement appearance in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2002, clinching their merely official trophy by beating Gent, Willem II and Villarreal.

In November, however, Jesualdo was fired because he had not obtained the craved performance, positioning the club in the delegating places. [ 16 ] Later, Shatat confirmed Manuel Pellegrini as coach. [ 17 ] With “The Caretaker” in charge, it was decided to discard players of the team and tone with players like concentrate back Martín Demichelis and midfielder Júlio Baptista. [ 18 ] A record five back-to-back La Liga wins, [ 19 ] aboard a draw against Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés at the start of January 2011, helped the team uphold momentum in the league, [ 20 ] finishing the 2010–11 temper in 11th target.

For the beginning time in its history, the cabaret qualified for the Champions League after finishing the 2011–12 La Liga campaign in fourth.

Málaga made it out of the group stagecoach unbeaten, winning their matches against all three clubs. In the round of golf of 16, the team drew portuguese champions Porto, losing the first away game 1–0 while winning at home 2–0, advancing to the quarter-finals. In a highly predict marry against german champions Borussia Dortmund, the home game ended 0–0, leaving Malagauistas with a reasonable prospect to advance on the back of a reap in the off fixture. In a second leg marked by controversial referee decisions, the scoreboard showed 1–2 at the fully 90 minutes marker, apparently ensuring Málaga ‘s place in the semi-finals, but two late goals by Marco Reus ( 90+1st moment ) and Felipe Santana ( 90+3rd minute ) turned the table in favor of the base team.
