23 players were used in the league by Fabio Capello. Tommasi was the only one to feature in every one of the 34 Serie A matches in that campaign. He was followed by Vincent Candela, who appeared in every match except the penultimate encounter away against Napoli due to suspension. The original decision was to suspend the Frenchman for two matches, but following appeal it was reduced to one game.

22 wins, nine draws and three defeats was the Giallorossi’s Serie A record in that season, while going the whole campaign unbeaten at home.

17
17 June 2001. It was the date of the last matchday of the season, Roma v Parma, a match in which Capello's men mathematically secured the title by beating the Emilian team 3-1, a side coached by Renzo Ulivieri. The only other occasion on which Roma have played a Serie A on this date was back in 1951, in a match against Milan, which actually consigned them to their first and only Serie A relegation. 50 years later it was a different story altogether.
