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 the football they played was much better than Villarreal and Lyon. Take out a major bottle job they would have been rightfully champions league finalists

      Take out a major bottle job

      That shouldn’t be ignored though, blowing a three goal lead to the team traditionally known for big bottle jobs doesn’t get talked about enough.

      Worth mentioning that Villarreal also had their own bottlejob. Before that they weren’t far away from being finalists themselves.
