I think spurs are more equipped to beat the scousers, as wonderful as Ajax are they’re still young and naive they needed an experienced head in the middle to just hold on to the ball a bit more rather than full out 100 mph

Gutted for Ajax. I bet they feel like their guts have been ripped out.

Pleased for them ,oops , I know it's not politically correct .JC must be fuming .

This is why its the greatest game on the planet .

So Cryuffball is dead, Barcelona and Ajax outclassed by BritGrit :biggrin:

I agree. I just said to my mate who is Liverpool fan that they'll beat Ajax cos Ajax have 20 minutes every game where they go off the boil

Managed by a German and an Argentine, with the goalscorers hailing from Belgium, the Netherlands and Brazil

I totally agree, if the Ajax team stuck together they would be unstoppable. It must be frustrating for the manager losing his best players.

Does the 5th placed team in the EPL now get a Champions League place next season? and if Chelsea or Arsenal win the Europa league does the 6th placed team also qualify?

That was quite something.

Amazing stuff. Absolutely superb.

We now have a Champions League final between a club that haven't been champions since 1990 and another that haven't been champions since 1961!

:hehe:

God knows how Glenn Hoddle didn’t have a clutcher, I was about to phone Eileen Drewery!!!!

Wonder if Liverpool will be looking to be awarded a Champions League runners up trophy, to go next to their Premier League runners up one?

No 1st, 2nd, 3rd & the Europa League winner or 4th.

4th or 5th plus 6th & 7th to the Europa league

In theory if Arsenal win the Europa League Spurs could lose their Champions league place

That result guarantees Wolves European football nest season.

This. Not to shit on anyone’s parade but the English teams that won things in the 1970/80/90’s were “English” teams. These teams are an international 11 with, ironically, a European philosophy and style.

Incredible matches though all the same and an advert for multiculturalism and openness.

Only just come on (thought I'd give the game my undivided attention) and had great fun scrolling through the thread :hehe:

Two of the best games of football I've seen in years in two consecutive nights and happen to be champions league semi final deciders.

The Ajax players were seconds away from the chance of football immortality in Holland and I feel for them, polar opposite to how I felt for last night's losers.

Football brings emotions out like nothing else.
I'm not sure whether football is the best sport in the world but it's definitely in the top one!

I think 5 English teams can get in so top 4 plus europa league winner. So spurs will be fine.

Barcelona must be a bit concerned watching their youth team make the same mistakes tonight..

As Croesy says, the top four will all qualify for the Champions League regardless, plus Arsenal if they win the Europa League.

I think Wolves can miss out if Watford win the FA Cup.
