2000–01 Club Atlético Boca Juniors season

The season is best remembered due to the clinching of 2000 Intercontinental Cup against heavily favourites and 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League Champions Real Madrid thanks to 2 goals of Martin Palermo.[1] In the second half of the season, the club won the 2001 Copa Libertadores for the second consecutive year [2] aimed by the talent of Juan Roman Riquelme[3] and a superb performance in the Finals of Cordoba. As of December 2020, the Back-to-back Boca title was the last time a team could reach that performance in Copa Libertadores.[4] Also, the squad won the Apertura Tournament finishing 4 points ahead of River Plate and Gimnasia La Plata.[5]
