The 2000–01 Club Atlético Boca Juniors season was the 71st consecutive Primera División season played by the senior squad.
Summary 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. In the second half of the season, the club won the 2001 Copa Libertadores for the second consecutive year aimed by the talent of Juan Roman Riquelme 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. Also, the squad won the Apertura Tournament finishing 4 points ahead of River Plate and Gimnasia La Plata.
