AJAX DOC: Ajax - Benfica - The Birth of the great Ajax

In 1969, Ajax play a never to forget quarter-final in the Europa Cup I. Rinus Michels' team meet Benfica, the record champions of Portugal, which has an absolute world star in Eusébio. Ajax, with a very young Johan Cruijff, take an important step towards the European top in this triptych with Benfica.

Two of the most iconic clubs in Europe. Hell, the whole world.
Super classy clubs full of history.
This game is like passing the torch, the greatest team of the 60s meets the one that would be the best of the 70s.

Sjakie, wat een legend. Vroeger stonden wij nooit onderaan en waren we de beste van Europa.

[@AlencerFang]

Great to see both Benfica and Ajax legends back to their time ❤

Something that we need to cherish forever❤ The founders of contemporary football

This is funny because, as a Benfica fan born in the 90s, I've heard about this semi-final thousands of times in my life. This must be the most famous defeat in our history, but one that is remembered with pride: we were definitely passing the baton to the next great team in Europe. A tribute to the great Ajax, and to these guys that made one of the best teams the world has ever seen (and thanks to Ajax media team for the doc with our legends Toni and Simões)! I hope that football can one day become a people's game again!

How would Benfica be "passing the baton", when they lost the previous final to Manchester United?

Vindo de um português, muito obrigado ao Ajax por este vídeo e por trazerem o Toni e o Simões

Leuke documentaire over de begin jaren van het oude Ajax & de grondleggers voor het Ajax van vandaag de dag. ❌❌❌

[@JAMES-sq8os]

Prachtig om dit te zien als jonge generatie supporter!

[@tonolijve4978]

geweldig!! great!!!

[@David-wy3dt]

Geweldige video! Misschien een idee om credits te geven aan Ten Hag met zijn perfecte champions league poulfase en als hoogtepunt de 2 wedstrijden tegen het dortmund van onder andere Bellingham & Haaland? Anders misschien een video over de uefa cup winst tegen Torino in eigen huis!

[@iwanbottos5128]

Ik " herinner" me dat ik de uit wedstrijd ook gezien heb . Misschien in samenvatting dat weet ik niet precies meer .Ik was 13 en nog een brave Hendrik, die nooit kattekwaad uit haslde.Dat zou nog veranderen ,dankzijn mijn terugkeer in Amsterdam .😅
