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 ?
In my opinion Villareal and Lyon easily lost the semis and everyone expected that to happen, unlike Ajax who were in the finals right till the end. Maybe because of the style Ajax played, more attacking football and more attractive opponents they faced on their way. Just my opinion…
