Summary

In 2001, Associazione Sportiva Roma took its third league title (after 1942 and 1983), winning Serie A only a year after local rivals Lazio. Important signings for the season were Argentines Walter Samuel, a defender, and Gabriel Batistuta, a top striker. Manager Fabio Capello's line-up also included Cafu, Vincent Candela, Emerson, Vincenzo Montella and captain Francesco Totti.

Capello won Serie A once again when on the last matchday Roma defeated Parma 3–1 at home with Totti, Montella and Batistuta scoring.
