Love how much carragher is a student of the game. You wouldn't get someone like paul merson asking good questions and being genuinely interested in something like this.
@@SlowZy-yc9to so overrated, youre ManU golden generation side has won a whopping 1 champions league and think its the best team of all time... AC Milan, Bayern, Real Madrid and Barca all have had better sides since then
Ajax did not buy great players, they created them themselves! One year before they already lost Bergkamp to Inter. You can't compare this to clubs like real madrid, who bought Zidane,Figo,Beckham, Ronaldo etc. etc. etc. How can you be proud on that? Few years later Reiziger, Overmars, Kluivert, Litmanen, F. de Boer, R. de Boer all played for Barcelona, they simply bought them. What if Ajax had the money to keep these players for years. they will have won the CL more than Madrid had won now. Maybe not the best, but sure the most unique and talented team ever.
Bosman rule killed the real football game. Ajax Anderlecht Red star Belgrad Steaue boekarest Hsv Dinamo Kiev All great times from the past how lost against the money , not on the field.
Its funny how 95 Ajax Champions league winning side had all thier top players raided by bigger clubs its a shame Ajax since has been a feeder club for most big teams in Europe. I would love to see them keep thier best talent and form a great side again.
No point asking kids this lol, that Ajax team was phenomenal, would give any Pep team a run for their money... at the time LVG was also one of the most coveted managers in Europe.
Pep has always joined teams with good squads. LVG added youth and youngsters in that Ajax team. Pep could never make a team from scrap when he has big budgets and Messi in his team.
@@mojok7070 I get your point but at same time coaches and players know their worth. Like Ronaldo won't just go to Crotone, or Pep to Wigan, just for the 'adventure' or 'challenge', this isn't Career Mode. While he's still in his prime Pep has the responsibility to achieve as much as he can with his talents, after City he'll probably try and win the CL with PSG and then the same with Juve or maybe one of the Milan teams if they're back by then. He's competitive and genuinely loves the game though, so in like 10-12 years I can see him winding down at a lower league team and trying to help them out, possibly Brescia in Italy, one of his old playing clubs.
@@mojok7070 06/07: barca won nothing 07/08 : barca won nothing 08/09: here comes pep with almost( without Ronaldinho) same team barca become first and only team till now to win all six trophies. PeP had all these success because he had great players is bullshit
For me that Ajax was the most technicly dominated team what I ever seen. I remember that dominance and i never seen something like that again. Respect from Hajduk Split
That is really nice to hear as an Ajax fan. Hajduk Split will always be remembered by me as one of the magical European clubs in the CL campaign, like Casino Salzburg. I went to a youth tournament just before corona started, where Hajduk Split under 19's played, and especially watched them. It all comes from the CL win from 1994/1995.
YES, 1995 Ajax was the greatest ever team without a doubt. 'Invincibles' in all competitions. Back when the Dutch League was equal to the German League with PSV and Feyenoord being giants as well. Ronaldo was in PSV. Hendrik Larsson in Feyenoord.
That was LVG best career at Ajax. LVG may have failed at United but he still had a good track record in Ajax. He discovered many young talents in his career especially at Ajax. He's the one who discovered Van Der Sar and he was in that 95 CL final match along with Saadof, Frank de Boar and the main motherfucker himself Kluivert who scored late winner. Dutch had great players back then but it's not the greatest team
To be fair rashford martial in United shirts is all thanks to LVG. If he had more time at United he could unearth more academy graduates. McNair, Borthwick Jackson, Blackett were all debuted under him. Unfortunately his football was too slow and boring for Man United fan.
I remember that team, didn't they reach back to back finals? Or was that Juve? Either way, definitely LVG best side. I think even Kanu was there at the time too.
He has always been excellent at plucking talent from youth academy. One of his more recent success was with Thomas Muller back in 2009 and the next year, the lad went on to win the golden boot at the world cup
Kluivert in his teens and early 20s was ridiculously good, after that not so much. But forever a hero to Ajax fans including myself because of this goal he scored against Milan in the 1995 final. I have that goal engraved in my mind, Rijkaard surging from defence to feed the ball to Kluivert, who does a clever turn instead of a return pass and then finishes neatly. And then the iconic image of young Kluivert in tears as he lifts the CL trophy... can never forget that.
I have watched football since the early 90’s, And Kluivert, with the exception of R9, was the most talented striker I have ever seen. The issue was his consistency, personal problems And too much success too early. But Kluivert had literally everything: pace, technique, finishing, heading (best header I ever saw), both feet he could use, insane talent. Didnt come to full fruition, such a shame.
Davids was on left-hand side, while Seedorf was on the right. At the end Kluivert said essential the same thing Henry said a few years ago about Pep's system. Structure in 2/3 of the filed, while freedom in the final 1/3.
Still happy to see all ajax 92 93 94 95 96 games live in the stadiums with Just one very sad day in Rome against Juventus. I have bin on Lucky human in my life.
2009 barcelona. Henry/messi/etto. They won 6 titles that year including messi scoring a header that made barcelona win 2-0 against ronaldo's manchester united in the UCL final.
If it’s Europe and just the ucl, no team has done more than Madrid’s 1955 team or their 2015-2018 team. 5 in a row and 4 in 5 years (3 in a row) can’t be matched and never has been
Nah, I think the 2011 incarnation of Barcelona were far better. That year, they cheated against Chelsea in the champions league semis, and were incredibly lucky to beat United.
In this short video Kluivert - who was also assistant to LVG so knows him well - says LVG wants quick football and does give freedom to attacking players. The perception of LVG in England was false and he was scapegoated. With more trust and time he would have had United much further along by now than they are.
It's a grave pity what the bosman rule has done to teams like Ajax now any talents they have are snapped away by clubs from wealthier leagues and with the rise of oil clubs like PSG and Man City its virtually impossible for clubs such as Ajax or Benfica to ever win the CL again which is a shame for clubs of such great traditions to be hampered by lack of resources and having to see their their prized assets stolen from them year after year.
Considering how poor the Dutch clubs are compared to top teams in the top 4 leagues and PSG, we most likely will never see a Dutch team win the CL again. Sad seeing Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV (all European cup winners) falling behind tinpot oil clubs like PSG and Man City.
The Bosman arrest finished football. Before that every club couldnt field more then 3 or 4 foreigners. Ofcourse this was against european law so it had to end, but it did kill football imo. Minor leagues see their talents go to england before their 18th. This way its no longer possible to win the cl if you dont play in the english, german, italian, frenc and spanish league. Before that time you had super talented generations from smaller countries rise to the top, like this Ajax or Red Star etc. Not zzzz domination from the money.
I remember being a kid watching that team. NOOOO ONE TALKS BOUT EM I’m sure they went undefeated too and all them youngsters wow who’s who 👏🏽 what a team
@@MrVIP1993 how can you even say that. Scholes was a good passer but could not dribble to save his life. Seedorf was a pretty good dribbler, so a lot better on the ball
@@MrVIP1993 Scholes football intelligence surely was high, but I would definitely not rank it higher then Seedorf. He is one of the most complete midfielders of all time and very underrated in it.
I was lucky enough to watch this team play in 95 when they beat the mighty AC Milan twice that year. They were amazing; one of the best team i have ever seen in my life. Finidi running on the right wing and overmars on the left, just incredible. Seedorf, Davies and Reejkard, better than Barcelona.
They beat them thrice even! Two times in the group stages and in the final of the champions league. This definitely is a team you have to include when you talk about the best teams ever.

The had a great Dutch national team in that era too. Shame they lost to Brazil on pens at WC98 , i think the would have given France a run for their money.
He also needs time to build it to his vision. If you take LVG you must have your full trust in him. LVG used to be a PE teacher and if you give him driven and motivated young players, he will form them and make them go beyond them selfs. LVG can hypnotise a team to win but you cant have any divas that break that hypnoses. Thats why he mostly prefers young players and he also can make them play on different positions.
kluivert also had a crappy year at milan next year. Milan bought half of that ajax team, and all of them didn't work out. The one that did work out was Clarence, but he joined milan years later.
joe mcshane peps barca would absolutely destroy sachis Milan. Milan wouldnt even touch the ball Just like all the other teams that faced that barca team.
@@dmonleon24 They won every thing they competed in hammering Barça 7-0 on the way to the champions league. That was the most dominant season from a team
Louis Van Gaal's army! This was Van Gaal's original army! Rijkaard dominated that Final. English 'journalists' coined the phrase 'the Makelele role'. Rijkaard defined the modern defensive midfielder role, and to this day, the best midfielder's style is that.
The best raw talented team i have ever seen And remember this real madrid and barcelona how much money did they spend to do what ajax did noone talks about this ajax is simply the best marc overmarrs had a very serious injury and it took him out of football they were in finals following year also they would of won with him but lost on penalties to Juventus. Simply the best Ajax!!!
Justin is a wonderful player, he needs to play, he deserves to play. Roma needs him now, Mourinho should consider letting him play for Roma again! Maybe it's his destiny to stay in Roma at the last minute!Also is the destiny of" the special one"of him and Murinho.
The most successful club in history is Real Madrid and they also have the two best runs in the ucl. 1955 team won 5 in a row and the 2015-2018 team won 3 in a row and 4 in 5 years whilst setting scoring records with Ronaldo! Can’t argue with records and history. No team has been better than Madrid in Europe. Ajax only have 4 ucls in history. Madrid have done that in the last 5 years
I don't feel like this Ajax success could ever be done again, mainly because of how football is nowadays and players have no loyalty meaning for them to build and establish a youthful squad full of talent would be hard due to the big teams trying to snap them up at any chance they get. I love how football is nowadays but sadly that's why the winners of the big European competitions always remain the same, due to how football has changed and become a money motivated sport and not loyalty how it used to be.
Well that was already happening in 95 after all this team also fell apart soon after. But every once in a while things come together perfectly allowing them to beat real Madrid once more
I feel opposite about how football is today, clubs with the most money win mostly. Its boring, only a select few clubs can win the champions league. Just look at the british clubs, 20 years ago none of them had a chance in the champions league now 4 out of 8 clubs in the quarter final are british, all because they buy up all of the best players. Its just sad the money ruined the sport for me.
No one comes close to Madrid’s 1955 team winning 5 in a row or their 2015-18 team winning 4 in 5 years and 3 in a row whilst having the most successful ucl player in history with the most goals, assists, wins and trophies.
I can't dispute the former one, but the latter one happened basically because of the lack of competiton they had in recent years. '09 Barcelona would destroy pretty much every other Real Madrid team from the 2010's
@@okayyymc3 they would suck real madrids cock in 2016 the best team in the last 20 years in europe. Ramos and pepe the best fullbacks in the last 10 years the best midfield in the world kroos modric casemiro. Cr7? The greatesr goalscored in ucl history and the best bench ever morata isco bale asensio varane james
@@stivib5937 typical clueless POS, Guardiola's Barcelona would wipe the floor with Zidane's Madrid. That team couldn't even handle Enrique and Valverde. And I didn't know Ramos and Pepe were playing as fullbacks. Since when ? Embarassing.
If there was no such think as buying players and every team was based off of there own grass roots Ajax would have won loads. They are still producing great players from their academy the big clubs snap them up.
Madrid's winning ucl 16/17 team scored 36 goals and lost one game the entire thing. (ronaldo scored 17 by himself which is an all time record) and beat bayern, atletico and juventus to win it in the knockouts whilst ronaldo scored the only back to back quarter/semi final hatrick in ucl history. They also won in 15/16, 17/18 and 18/19 with the same team pretty much. 3 ucls in a row and 4 in 5 years. So ajax is definitely not the best european team of all time.
Thomas becker ronaldo actually scored 12 goals that ucl season he had only like 2 in the group stage while messi had 11 but remarkably turned up in the knockout stages and was top scorer. Still think Barca teams 09 2011 were better.
Best team ever is Nottingham forest under Clough. Average league 1 side to Back - to - Back European champs within 3 years. Making a good team strong is reaching expectations. Turning a shambles side into the best team sustainably is unheard of. Will never happen again.
They would never beat Madrid’s best ever side or Barca’s! So they can’t be the best team ever. Madrid have two sides that won 3 or more ucls in a row. 1955 and 2015-2018
It's a great underdog story, but that doesn't make it the strongest team ever. It would lose to many sides, definitely including the '95 Ajax team which was absolutely insane
@@davetum5876 winning one a cup in the season doesnt make you the best team you fool! madrid were shocking in the league! nottingham forest won the double and went unbeaten for 48 games! grow a brain.
If it’s about the best ucl European team in history then first of all it has to be Real Madrid who won the same amount of ucls in the last 5 years as Ajax have in their entire history and secondly it would either be Madrid’s 1955-1960 ucl team who won five in a row or Madrid’s 2014-2018 ucl team who won 3 in a row and 4 in 5 years whilst facing tougher teams in the final and throughout the competition. Also they had the most successful ucl player of all time (Ronaldo) who has the most ucl trophies, goals and assists ever. Of course if this includes domestic achievements then other arguments can be made but if its just Europe Madrid is the only deserving winner of this.
Sam Geee You can’t mention R Madrid 2015-2018 as the best team in European history if they weren’t even dominating their own league. How can you be the best in Europe if you’re not the best in Spain? Makes no sense. Man Utd 1999 (treble), Ayax 95 (Never lost a game in their league or CL), Barca 2009 (won the treble). These teams that I mentioned dominated on all fronts. People need to remember that the CL is a knock out competition and you don’t need to be the best team in Europe to win it, see Chelsea 2012, Liverpool 2005. Even Inter 2010; Pep’s Barca were a better team than them but Inter still managed to get the better of them over 2 legs using dodgy tactics in the 2nd leg.
Jamie carragher has not one gram of football knowledge! A great example of a footballer and a lucky man that played professional football having a conversation about tactics..! It's embarrassing the difference in football brains!!! God help English football...
No the Dutch league isn't that high in quality. I remember whenever I saw games in that league it was slow pace. Not much closing down, everyone is allowed more time on the ball etc...Technically it should be a team like ManUtd 2007/08 as they won 3 PL's in a row 06/07, 07/08, & 08/09. When they lost in the semi-finals of 06/07 Champions league 5-3 on aggregate to ACmilan they went on to lift 3 Premier league titles before they lost another champions league game. 25 Champions league games unbeaten on top of all the other things they were winning. So consistent, nearly won back-to-back champions league titles both in invincible style but lost a 50/50 game with another great team Barca. The treble winning ManUtd also won the champions league in invincible style. ManUtd are always the best in the world when they win it and even when they lose in the final they'd been unbeaten up until that point (08/09 & 2010/11) Just very unlucky not to have won more champions league's, quite a few more, so many unlucky exits on away goals, bad decisions etc...
Well ,yes but slwoer does not necessarily mean bad ,la liga is a slower once league in comparison to the premier league ,but la liga teams dominate more in Europe ,also at that time r9 was in psv ,Henrik Larson was in feyernood So the Dutch league did have strong players ,also ajax beat so many European elites such as real Madrid ,ac milan ,Bayern Munich , Dortmund ,Atletico Madrid etc. ,even when they were losing talents year after year from 94-97.

2006 was way better.
Real Madrid 23 is better than Barcelona 2011
@@sismeo1 2006 Barca was awesome, but not dominate, stylish and all qonquering like the 2015 side, let alone the 11'/09' one.
The had a great Dutch national team in that era too. Shame they lost to Brazil on pens at WC98 , i think the would have given France a run for their money.
It would have been even better if Van Basten hadn’t had to finish at 28, he woujd have gone to WC94,E96, WC98
United players weren’t intelligent enough to understand LVG simple as that
John Appiah I agree.
Also the players at man u were low quality.
Lol English football is just kick and rush
King Kong 100 init!!!
He also needs time to build it to his vision. If you take LVG you must have your full trust in him. LVG used to be a PE teacher and if you give him driven and motivated young players, he will form them and make them go beyond them selfs. LVG can hypnotise a team to win but you cant have any divas that break that hypnoses. Thats why he mostly prefers young players and he also can make them play on different positions.
Denis Bergkamp probably regretted leaving Ajax in 93. At the time he was one of the top 5 players in the world and had a nightmare 2 years in Italy
kluivert also had a crappy year at milan next year. Milan bought half of that ajax team, and all of them didn't work out. The one that did work out was Clarence, but he joined milan years later.
Records and history something no one can argue against
This team they can place in any competition at anytime and still be in the running
This team is surly up there!
Kluivert..overmars..sedorf..David's.. rijkaard..de boer twins..van der sar ...one of best teams in football history. 👍
That team was one of my favourite CL teams.
Most underrated team ever in my opinion a great team and great manager
Without the great Ajax sides football would currently about 30 years behind where it is now
pep's Barca for me hands down. greatest team I've ever seen. 2009 & 2011
blackceazer21 yes, that you ever saw!
‘09 was an absolute shambles. UEFAlona at its finest.
@@TheOriginalEwan stop hating lol
Ac Milan 89-90
I think the 2011 Barcelona team was probably the best I've ever seen.
Peps Barcelona are the greatest of all time
Abcdefg32 1 pep perfectionised ‘95 total football. Cruijf dna in both clubs
@Jimmy Green yup Saachis Milan team would wipe the floor with Peps Barca any day of the week, best mix of defence and attack theres ever been
joe mcshane peps barca would absolutely destroy sachis Milan. Milan wouldnt even touch the ball Just like all the other teams that faced that barca team.
@@leobeenplakker6505 bayern destroyed that team
3:10: F%*ck this, I'll put myself in the team!
That was carragher
Yes it is,great times,memories are definitely the highlights you will never forget.Good times!
Who can forget the standing ovation they got in the santiago bernabeu outplaying real madrid in their own stadium...
Every team that won it was great..so hard to pick the best different times different rules
2009 barcelona 6 trophies nothing beats that
Chelsea 09 was better then that barca team they were robbed of a final
@@MrSolomon21368 MORON
Bayern also won everything they played in in 2013.
Mark Kavanagh did they win a six trophies
@@dmonleon24 They won every thing they competed in hammering Barça 7-0 on the way to the champions league. That was the most dominant season from a team
Louis Van Gaal's army! This was Van Gaal's original army! Rijkaard dominated that Final. English 'journalists' coined the phrase 'the Makelele role'. Rijkaard defined the modern defensive midfielder role, and to this day, the best midfielder's style is that.
Man that AJAX team was MONEY🔥
Everyone's forgetting Seedorf , win 3 UCL with 3 different club ❤️
4 UCL with 3 different clubs actually
The best raw talented team i have ever seen
And remember this real madrid and barcelona how much money did they spend to do what ajax did noone talks about this ajax is simply the best marc overmarrs had a very serious injury and it took him out of football they were in finals following year also they would of won with him but lost on penalties to Juventus. Simply the best Ajax!!!
Lost against Juventus on dope. Years that came out , there own doctor told that on Italian television.
Awesome. Love your content.
You guys make my day
Justin is a wonderful player, he needs to play, he deserves to play. Roma needs him now, Mourinho should consider letting him play for Roma again! Maybe it's his destiny to stay in Roma at the last minute!Also is the destiny of" the special one"of him and Murinho.
LVG the manager.And that team was quite young .
The most successful club in history is Real Madrid and they also have the two best runs in the ucl. 1955 team won 5 in a row and the 2015-2018 team won 3 in a row and 4 in 5 years whilst setting scoring records with Ronaldo! Can’t argue with records and history. No team has been better than Madrid in Europe. Ajax only have 4 ucls in history. Madrid have done that in the last 5 years
You answered a question that was never asked. We're talking about a specific team for one year, not the entire club.
@Rob Can say the same about barca 2009 ucl semifinal against chelsea.
Only monney
As an Ajax fan I have to admit that the the Guardiola/ Barcelona period was the best team ever!
Zeker. Mijn lijst : 1 Barcelona van Messi , Xavi , Iniesta 2 - Milan 89-90 3 Ajax 71-72-73 4 Real Madrid v Ronaldo 14-16-17-18 Liverpool 77-78-81-84
No, you have to bear in mind the fact that Barcelona spent heaps more than Ajax.
I don't feel like this Ajax success could ever be done again, mainly because of how football is nowadays and players have no loyalty meaning for them to build and establish a youthful squad full of talent would be hard due to the big teams trying to snap them up at any chance they get.
I love how football is nowadays but sadly that's why the winners of the big European competitions always remain the same, due to how football has changed and become a money motivated sport and not loyalty how it used to be.
Well that was already happening in 95 after all this team also fell apart soon after. But every once in a while things come together perfectly allowing them to beat real Madrid once more
I feel opposite about how football is today, clubs with the most money win mostly. Its boring, only a select few clubs can win the champions league. Just look at the british clubs, 20 years ago none of them had a chance in the champions league now 4 out of 8 clubs in the quarter final are british, all because they buy up all of the best players. Its just sad the money ruined the sport for me.
Great video, when Louis Van Gaal was at his peak as a Manager!
No one comes close to Madrid’s 1955 team winning 5 in a row or their 2015-18 team winning 4 in 5 years and 3 in a row whilst having the most successful ucl player in history with the most goals, assists, wins and trophies.
I can't dispute the former one, but the latter one happened basically because of the lack of competiton they had in recent years. '09 Barcelona would destroy pretty much every other Real Madrid team from the 2010's
@@okayyymc3 they would suck real madrids cock in 2016 the best team in the last 20 years in europe.

madrid were shocking in the league 2015-18, you must be a special or something.
@@stivib5937 typical clueless POS, Guardiola's Barcelona would wipe the floor with Zidane's Madrid. That team couldn't even handle Enrique and Valverde.
And I didn't know Ramos and Pepe were playing as fullbacks. Since when ?
Embarassing.
If that mid 90's Ajax team had not been broken up and sold they would of won loads more Champions Leagues.
That's Dutch football for ya, we produced the most talented players but have no money in the league.
I wish Ajax could combine the 95 and 2019 teams
Tadic/Kluivert/Zyech
Litmanen
Frenkie de Jong/Seedorf
Rijkaard
Blind/De Ligt/F de Boer
VD Sar
You think Frenkie is better than Davids?? Oh man these kids...
Davids would eat Frenkie with his shoes on.
Tadic haha
@@iem7252 droeftoeter
If there was no such think as buying players and every team was based off of there own grass roots Ajax would have won loads. They are still producing great players from their academy the big clubs snap them up.
The thing is bro they were all so young imagine that Ajax team in they prime I feel sorry for the midfielders going up against Seedorf and Davids🤣
i really dont remember kluivert at newcastle , its crazy
Ben shawyer Yeah he was there for 1 season and he didn’t do much to be fair. I would say he was on a decline at that point.
Madrid's winning ucl 16/17 team scored 36 goals and lost one game the entire thing. (ronaldo scored 17 by himself which is an all time record) and beat bayern, atletico and juventus to win it in the knockouts whilst ronaldo scored the only back to back quarter/semi final hatrick in ucl history. They also won in 15/16, 17/18 and 18/19 with the same team pretty much. 3 ucls in a row and 4 in 5 years. So ajax is definitely not the best european team of all time.
Thomas becker i wonder what team u support🤣🤣🤣
Barcelona 2011 was a better team. And they didn't have to rely on refs to win the whole thing (unlike in 2009)
Thomas becker ronaldo actually scored 12 goals that ucl season he had only like 2 in the group stage while messi had 11 but remarkably turned up in the knockout stages and was top scorer. Still think Barca teams 09 2011 were better.
16/17* not 18/19
Whats the best mean here ? How many trophies won in 1 consecutive year . Would be barca 2009, won in all competitions they were in.
What a team Jesus Christ the names!
Davids played on the left side and Seedorf on the right
Best team ever is Nottingham forest under Clough. Average league 1 side to Back - to - Back European champs within 3 years. Making a good team strong is reaching expectations. Turning a shambles side into the best team sustainably is unheard of. Will never happen again.
They would never beat Madrid’s best ever side or Barca’s! So they can’t be the best team ever. Madrid have two sides that won 3 or more ucls in a row. 1955 and 2015-2018
It's a great underdog story, but that doesn't make it the strongest team ever. It would lose to many sides, definitely including the '95 Ajax team which was absolutely insane
@@davetum5876 winning one a cup in the season doesnt make you the best team you fool! madrid were shocking in the league! nottingham forest won the double and went unbeaten for 48 games! grow a brain.
If it’s about the best ucl European team in history then first of all it has to be Real Madrid who won the same amount of ucls in the last 5 years as Ajax have in their entire history and secondly it would either be Madrid’s 1955-1960 ucl team who won five in a row or Madrid’s 2014-2018 ucl team who won 3 in a row and 4 in 5 years whilst facing tougher teams in the final and throughout the competition. Also they had the most successful ucl player of all time (Ronaldo) who has the most ucl trophies, goals and assists ever. Of course if this includes domestic achievements then other arguments can be made but if its just Europe Madrid is the only deserving winner of this.
Sam Geee You can’t mention R Madrid 2015-2018 as the best team in European history if they weren’t even dominating their own league. How can you be the best in Europe if you’re not the best in Spain? Makes no sense. Man Utd 1999 (treble), Ayax 95 (Never lost a game in their league or CL), Barca 2009 (won the treble). These teams that I mentioned dominated on all fronts.
People need to remember that the CL is a knock out competition and you don’t need to be the best team in Europe to win it, see Chelsea 2012, Liverpool 2005. Even Inter 2010; Pep’s Barca were a better team than them but Inter still managed to get the better of them over 2 legs using dodgy tactics in the 2nd leg.
Patrick his Son left Ajax as soon as he could. Now he is warming a bench. That is how great he thinks Ajax is.
Patrick told him not to leave his agent Riola who is a notorious bastard the same agent Pogba has was resposeble
One of the best sides ever.
Amazing youth academy👍
Jamie carragher has not one gram of football knowledge! A great example of a footballer and a lucky man that played professional football having a conversation about tactics..! It's embarrassing the difference in football brains!!! God help English football...
Only money helpes English football.
Ajax 95 is probably of the top 10 teams . But there are other teams that have done much more than these guys
Money.

4 sure the most talented team considering their average age

This ajax whas on off the best times ever.
Ajax 1971-1973
No the Dutch league isn't that high in quality. I remember whenever I saw games in that league it was slow pace. Not much closing down, everyone is allowed more time on the ball etc...Technically it should be a team like ManUtd 2007/08 as they won 3 PL's in a row 06/07, 07/08, & 08/09. When they lost in the semi-finals of 06/07 Champions league 5-3 on aggregate to ACmilan they went on to lift 3 Premier league titles before they lost another champions league game. 25 Champions league games unbeaten on top of all the other things they were winning. So consistent, nearly won back-to-back champions league titles both in invincible style but lost a 50/50 game with another great team Barca.
The treble winning ManUtd also won the champions league in invincible style. ManUtd are always the best in the world when they win it and even when they lose in the final they'd been unbeaten up until that point (08/09 & 2010/11) Just very unlucky not to have won more champions league's, quite a few more, so many unlucky exits on away goals, bad decisions etc...
This is about Ajax, not about the Dutch league in general..
Well ,yes but slwoer does not necessarily mean bad ,la liga is a slower once league in comparison to the premier league ,but la liga teams dominate more in Europe ,also at that time r9 was in psv ,Henrik Larson was in feyernood
So the Dutch league did have strong players ,also ajax beat so many European elites such as real Madrid ,ac milan ,Bayern Munich , Dortmund ,Atletico Madrid etc. ,even when they were losing talents year after year from 94-97.
Yes it is!

how can they be the best just winning 1 cup a season idiot
Peps Barcelona clearly is the greatest
No, Guardiola Barça better
Real madrid in 2016 win against atletico was the best team at least in the last 20 years. Not only the first team but the bench aswell
