2000–01 Leeds United A.F.C. season
Encyclopedia
During the 2000–01 English football season, Leeds United A.F.C. competed in the FA Premier League
(known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons).
took Leeds
to their first European Cup
semi-final since 1975, where defeat at the hands of Valencia
ended their chances of a repeat of the ill-tempered 1975 European Cup
clash with Bayern Munich, who beat Real Madrid
in the other semi-final. Still, this disappointment was less of a dampener on a season where Leeds had fielded a predominantly young squad. They finished fourth in the final table, which meant that their place in Europe for 2001-02 would be in the UEFA Cup
rather than the European Cup.
Failure to qualify for the European Cup
was viewed as merely a disappointment by fans of the club at the time given the success in reaching the semi-final. In fact, the directors of the club had secured tens of millions of pounds of loans on successful Champions League qualification; the failure to qualify was a calamity that would see the club suffer financial disaster and be relegated twice in the coming seasons.
