Although Dynamo Kiev had lost the league championship race to archrivals Shakhtar Donetsk in the two previous seasons, the club gave itself the best possible birthday present to mark its 80th anniversary by becoming the first club in Ukrainian football history to win the league, cup and super cup treble. Dynamo Kiev took the league title by a nine-point margin over Shakhtar after also securing 2-1 victories against their archrivals in each of the cup finals. Dynamo, coached by Ukrainian Anatoly Demyanenko, owe their 25th league championship title largely to four Brazilian players -central defender Rodrigo, playmaker Carlos Correa, attacking midfielder Diogo and goalgetter Kleber. The four Brazilians and three Ukraine internationals, OlexanderShovkovskiy, Andriy Nesmachniy and Oleh Husiev, will now be hoping to dazzle in the UEFA Champions League. Last year, the team had a disappointing run in the competition, failing to win any of its six group matches.

20 June 2007 was a historic day for both Colombian referee Oscar Ruiz and top Argentine club Boca Juniors. Ruizwasofficiating his ninth final in a South American competition – and his third Copa Libertadores final – thus breaking the record for South American referees. For their part, Boca Juniors won the Copa Libertadores – the confederation’s most prestigious event – for the sixth time. Having won the first leg in Buenos Aires 3-0, the Argentines then went on to beat rivals Gremio Porto Alegre 2-0 in the away leg. By far the most outstanding player in both matches was midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme, who scored three of the five goals. This latest triumph brings Boca Juniors’ grand total of international titles to 17, thereby outstripping AC Milan’s record (which includes seven victories in the UEFA Champions League/European Cup). The internationally famed clubs occupying third place in the list, with 15 international triumphs each, are Real Madrid (including nine UEFA Champions League/European Cup titles) and Independiente (including seven Copa Libertadores victories).
