Season summary

Javier Irureta's fourth season in charge of Deportivo was another successful one, as they finished as La Liga runners-up for the second consecutive year, seven points behind champions Valencia. Diego Tristán's 20 league goals saw him become the first Depor player to win the Pichichi Trophy since Bebeto in 1992–93. Deportivo also tasted success in the Copa del Rey, beating Real Madrid in the final to lift the trophy for the second time in their history, and the first since 1994–95.[2]

In the UEFA Champions League, they progressed as group winners from the first group stage. They were undefeated in their six matches, which included a fine 3–2 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. They received a tough draw in the second group stage, where they faced Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus. Despite two defeats by the German side, they progressed as runners-up, level on points with group winners Leverkusen. They once again faced Manchester United in the quarter-finals, but couldn't repeat the success of the group stages as the English side won 5–2 on aggregate.[3] Depor's quarter-final exit matched their performance from the previous year.

FIFA Club World Championship

As winners of the 1999–2000 La Liga, Deportivo La Coruña was one of the 12 teams that were invited to the 2001 FIFA Club World Championship, which would be hosted in Spain from 28 July to 12 August 2001. However, the tournament was cancelled, primarily due to the collapse of ISL, which was marketing partner of FIFA at the time.
