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 ?
Because Ajax didn’t just surprise everybody, they did it with good football and great results. That game against Real got Tadić a (well deserved but rare) 10/10 L’Equipe.
