I’ve often seen people talk about how Ajax reached the UCL semis in the 18/19 season and had a great season,but no one talks about Villarreal , they also had a great run to the UCL semi finals in 21/22 , teams like lyon also reached the semi finals in 19/20 ,yet no one talks about these teams.what was so great about Ajax’s run that season ?
Sorry to say but ajax beat out of form madrid, not taking anything away from them though…
Probably the worst Madrid side we have seen in a long time.
Courtois was leaking goals for fun, Ronaldo had just left, Vini hadn’t gotten into form, Bale’s heart wasn’t in it anymore, Rodrygo hadn’t arrived.
It shouldn’t take away from Ajax but neither should anything from Villareal or Lyon.
Madrid lost 18 games that season. Incredible really.
