Season Review: Part I
The opening month of a marathon season was dominated by the Clarets’ European campaign as Burnley returned to the Continental stage for the first time in over half a century.
Finishing seventh in the Premier League in 2017/18 had earned Sean Dyche’s side a crack at the Europa League.
Joining at the second qualifying-round stage meant a first ever competitive game in July for the Clarets.
And while the draw did Dyche’s men no favours, they came within a whisker of making it through to the group stages during a memorable six-match run.
It all started in the north of Scotland with a trip to Aberdeen.
