Just read this great piece on Ajax’s insane 1994/95 Champions League run. It reminded me how wild that season really was. (PS: Article is in Dutch but you can translate in the browser. Worth reading, for sure.)
It wasn’t just winning, it was how they did it. Youth, tactics, swagger, and zero fear. The kind of story modern football rarely gives us anymore.
What’s your favorite memory from that Ajax team, and could we ever see something like that again in today’s money-driven era?

I don’t know if it was a cinderella story. They had one of the best club squads of the mid 90s and it was regarded as such. The bosman ruling hadn’t destroyed financial competitiveness in European competitions yet. The way the team dissolved after this win was a sign of things to come though.
