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 ?
Today no one even talks about porto 's underdog ucl win as well . If GOATmourinho had a certain cruyff 's pr and obsession with the borring " pass passs possession" attacking style of play , 9M of jobless internet users would have posted about it with their gummy fingers daily .
Ajax’s underdog bottling run to ucl semis is talked more is because of their attacking style of play and cancerous Cruyff PR compared to the other 2 ( lyon’s run and Villarreal 's run ) . I feel bad for their fans atm and i wish they had their Godfather to witness it with them , it would have add a sweetness to their tears .
Also that Porto had won Europa league the year before. 2003 Porto was a delight to see. 2004 Porto was more cynical. A killing machine with what they had. And Deco… man he carried that team.
