Ajax are legit

They're seriously good. Thoroughly deserved beating Madrid and thoroughly deserved beating Juve as well.

I'm routing for them to win CL.

They have a legit chance if Spurs beat City. If City meet them on the SF they are done.

Liverpool are favorites for me though. Rooting for them against Barca

And to think that Farça clowns were whining about " Uefadrid" getting the easiest draw back in December rofl

Most clueless fanbase in sports.

Ajax is every bit as good as City. Only team that is clearly better than them is Barca... and Barca's defense can be had.

by Casciavit Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:02 pm

If City goes through, they'll beat them. Pep never loses against these kinds of teams, they always bend over backward for him. Yes, I know City's a meme in the CL, but I'm very confident the one team they would get past is Ajax.

It's either Barca or Liverpool. Messi usually wins the CL the season after the WC, it's coming back to the Camp Nou IMO.

The way you've played this year even if it was the easiest you probably still would have lost lol.

Kind of agree with this, to add to this i think Ajax would beat Spurs.

Just want to point out that even Kovac's Bayern had no real trouble with Ajax in the group stage

They managed a draw at the Allianz with a great performance. Then we went to Amsterdam and left them no chance whatsoever hmm

by sportsczy Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:05 pm

They're the anti-money laundering team. What a story they would be.

Would be good for the soul of every football fan.

By these types do you mean tactical type?

Because Monaco whooped City two years ago.

Young teams need to find belief and confidence... you get some mileage and big wins, the kids suddenly turn into different players.

Different story if Ajax had a more experienced squad.

The new Dortmund. They should enjoy this journey while it lasts

Mbappe's pace crushed them in that one. You also had guys like Mendy, Lemar, Fabinho, Moutinho, Falcao, Bernardo Silva, etc. That Monaco team was very legit.

Think he means passing teams, he's kind of right tbh. I genuinely can't remember the last time Pep lost to a team like Ajax over two legs.

I think if City played them they would win, but i'd want Ajax to win.

by Cruijf Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:09 pm

Not convinced by them tbh, the number of chances they missed across both legs was unreal. Teams as wasteful as them never win CLs.

Barca vs Liverpool is the real final

by halamadrid2 Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:11 pm

Porto v Ajax in the final. Porto to win it

by Firenze Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:11 pm

Fairytale performances this season but I never rated Juve very highly and Madrid are..well, we've seen the season they're having.

Not to say that dominating both of those teams at their home stadium is nothing to applaud, because it is. but I just can't see them not being spanked by City, Pool, maybe they'll beat Spurs.

Yeah, Monaco and Ajax are both different stylistically.

Ajax builds through the middle, they play pretty passes, and they're fun to watch.

Monaco was ruthless. They were athletic and attacked through the wings with pace and directness.

Pep struggles with the latter a lot more. Yeah, I know this Ajax plays more vertically compared to other possession teams, but they still have similar principles. Pep rarely loses to these proud passing teams.

by zigra Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:19 pm

FFS we were the easy draw for Madrid and Juve and now again. Even in the final they'll tell us we are the easy draw somehow before we win it all.

OUT

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:21 pm

No one said you're the easy draw lol, i just happen to agree with Cascia that City would win just because of the stylistic matchup.

I think you'd beat Spurs.

Agreed on that. Was confused if you were talking about tactics or "smaller" clubs.

by BarcaLearning Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:28 pm

Would like to play Ajax in the final... although in this thread I clearly sense a lot of Real fans are being jealous of us winning the CL now, its inevitable Very Happy

by halamadrid2 Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:37 pm

Please, settle down, this was the first time in 4 seasons Barca have made it past the quarters. And who other than an EPL team to let them through with a confidence boosting win with Messi scoring his first goal in the knockout stage since 2013 ffs Rolling Eyes

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Apr 16, 2019 5:15 pm

Decent chance one of Ajax or Spurs will be in the final. Who would've guessed Laughing
