Why does no one think Ajax can win the CL?
Bizarre. They play fantastic stuff.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Meh, they will be found out next leg if their opponent is not Spurs. Real Madrid isn’t a good team this season and Juventus relies too much on Ronaldo. If Ajax come up against Man city, they will struggle. Even though, I know how well a manager Erik Den Haag is.
Ajax vs. Spurs semi will be decent
Annoying seeing Ajax flourishing and us in this predicament after the Europa final a few years ago.
They prioritised playing good football while we went for instant results. It's, as predicted, come back to bite us.

I hope Ajax win the whole damn thing! They do things the right way, I wish our board would take notes.
They will play Barca, de Ligt and de Jong will mysteriously be sick/injured or have terrible games.
Any team with either Messi or Ronaldo in it is a huge contender but everytime I've seen Juventus I've not been particularly impressed (I thought they were very ordinary in both games against us), their midfield is mediocre by the standards of the Champions League and their defence is getting older, I think City would have been too good for them anyway.
They're reaping the rewards of sticking to their philosophy.
Aye it's that simple.
Sometimes, football isn't that complicated.
97 was their last semi final, I hope they win it they deserve it.
Dortmund 97 I think.
They have a club hierarchy that knows how to build a football team, instead of having a businessman who specialises in corporate deals running the show.
Surely this is over. It shouldve been fecking 1-6 though.
They've definitely got a chance. I said they'd progress before the game, while pretty much every pundit & majority of posters thought Juve would get through pretty comfortably.
I will say this though. Man City, Liverpool, and Barcelona are all better than this years Real Madrid & Juventus teams, and will be much tougher opponents for Ajax then the two giants.
Choke job? Ajax are giving them a football lesson. This is no choke job, they're losing to a better side
Same as us btw
Maybe, but City are amazing. They will come at us like a train.
I'm hopeful, but not expecting anything.
Dunno, just feel like this side is being underrated. They seem to be approaching the CL with s bit of a Leicester PL champions campaign attitude. They’ll bite at City and they won’t like it, reckon it would be tasty.
Ajax v Spurs would be good too!
City-Liverpool final. Nailed on.
I'd do that deal in a pinch.
Oh Christ no.
Juventus were heavy heavy favourites going in to this tie
Not Ronaldo’s fault, but I’m sure he misses modric and Kroos
Blind bossing for Ajax. What a game.
Fantastic save!
10 years since UEFA didn't want an all English final, with an English club vs Barcelona in the semi
Scary.I want to see more of this in European football. This is a credit for the sport.
Ban non champions.
Ban non champions.
Ajax were not champions.
Finally, the torture is over.
Funny feelings of football: Huntelaar is still 24 years old and the heir to Ruuds throne.
I mean Ajax wouldn't be playing in that case.
Would be typical if they get a penalty this way.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
Liverpool or City for the league and Liverpool or City for the CL. We are screwed
Oops.I miss Blind..... really want them to win. Be really happy for him.
That was a penalty.
Here we go, they're going to give a pen now..
Yeah and we weren't champions entering 99. Still though.
This will definitely be checked.
Surely that's a VAR penalty?
Thats handball.
I don't... Nvm
