How different this would have been had we beaten Porto and Monaco to win that UCL where at that point (semis) we were the favorites to many eyes. That comeback against European champions Milan in the quarterfinals was the pinnacle, and the elimination by Porto was the beginning of our downfall. Still, what a great story to be told and what a great legacy to have. Now, with big clubs getting even more money than in the 90s and early 00s, it seems impossible to achieve such a feat anymore, but here we are, supporting this club in the bad times as much as we enjoy supporting it in the good ones.

That semi final vs Mourinho's Porto side will haunt us forever, just as Djukic penalty miss has. I remember Andrade getting sent off in the first leg for "tapping" Deco in the back with his foot, almost saying "get up, I hardly touched you" the ref interpreted that as an aggression and sent him off. We played the rest of the game with a man less and missed Andrade for the return leg at home which proved vital. Cesar played as his replacement and committed the penalty which knocked us out 0-1 at home. Gutted.

As an Englishman, I can’t really explain why I’ve always followed Depor. I remember in the early 2000s seeing Depor frequently in the Champions League and being a regular choice of mine when playing Pro Evolution Soccer. Hoping for better years🤞🏻way too good for third tier football.

Thank you, beautiful... From a Dépor Fan who grows with that enormous phenomenon. We achieve win titles against the most rich and powerful clubs, and we were loved and had the sympathy of everyone for that at that time... We were the small David against gigantic Goliath

I feel so good that I managed to bring Coruna back to the Champions League in Football Manager. I know it's just a game but it's always nice to see it even if it is a simulation.

I still remember being in high school in 2001 and seeing what I still consider the greatest collection of Champions League teams in one group stage. PSG, Galatasaray, AC Milan, and Deportivo. I remember taping the games they showed on ESPN on VHS and would watch them over and over again. Makaay and Diego Tristan were amazing together. Not to mention the talent of Milan, Okocha and a young Ronaldinho for PSG, and of course the human highlight reel Hagi for Galatasaray. What a fun time to be a fan of soccer. Miss those days

Djalminha, Valeron... what a wonderful players they were!

My favorite Spanish club 🙌🏾

Remembered them when they competed against man united in cl back in my school days. Was wondering where they were now . Thanks

Deportivo fan here, and I got to say that he hardest (and maybe saddest) part of this story is the passing of time: that LaLiga title was back in 2000, almost 20 years ago, Arsenio’s era ended almost 25 years ago, the Centenariazo (that’s how we call the Copa title vs Real Madrid) is already 18 years old, and the last participation in UCL was 15 years ago...you might read this and say: yes, but you just stated obvious numbers; but think about this: there is a vast amount of supporters of the club that weren’t able to enjoy these golden days: some of them didn’t have use of reason, and some of them weren’t even born. The people that couldn’t be a part of the glory of the past will always feel gutted about not being able to see their team having success, while the parents or grandparents of these fans will always remember, with seemingly incurable melancholy, those magic nights with a special bright in their eyes, knowing and trying to accept that maybe, and most surely, that football miracle will never happen again. Meanwhile the team struggles in LaLiga Smartbank (Second Division) after missing promotion last season, but we will never leave, no matter what, and it is nice to see that the team is still remembered, even outside spanish borders. Forza Dépor 💙

I fondly remember Depor in early 00’s with players such as Valeron, Makaay, Pandiani, Tristan, Naybet, Molina, Djalminha , Luque etc, they thrashed Milan in the knockout stage in a great turnaround tie and lost to my club Porto in the semifinals of the 03/04 CL. A great side who played great football at the time 🤙🏻

They're currently in danger of dropping even lower, to the Segunda B. The first half of the season was disastrous for the team, being bottom of the table on most of it. Their form improved a bit since, as they won 7 straight matches to get out of the Relegation zone, but they're now back on it.

This video saddens me. Back in the 90s and 00s when I had a lot more time to follow the European time, Depor were my Spanish team. Loved the way they took on the big boys playing really attractive football. Valeron and Fran were great players. I remember there was a really good English language website, which was good for me too.

Sort of video that definitely gets me emotional. I always hoped that Depor would sustain their success throughout the early part of 2000s and go on to regularly compete with the big boys. Sadly that wasn't the case

Quality content this. Love the history of clubs I grew up aware of, and watched in the champions League, but really had no grasp of their history

This is brilliant content mate. Keep up with the good work. ❤

Could we get a brief history of Stuart Pearce? Kind of a left-field one but I was just reading about his years in non-league whilst working as an electrician, his reluctant move straight from non-league to the top-flight, and his strange transfer to Nottingham Forest where he would go on to be a surprise legend. This, combined with his interesting later, international and managerial careers, would make for a good video-I think.

They were the first team i actively cheered for. I remember watching my first full champions league game in 2001 (I was 10) and it was Manchester united against deportivo and deportivo won 3-2 at old trafford.
