They didn't overwhelm Monaco. Mou did his usual dirty tactic and got Guily injured in the early moments of the game 🙂
What about FCSB?Its a Romanian club that won the first UCL in the superliga
Helped by a Tim Howard howler
Man united had a goal ruled out for offside which it wasn't.
Fun fact: Porto is not the only team outside of the top five leagues because Celtic won it 🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
In 1987 Porto done the “PENTA”, won the Portuguese League, Portuguese Cup, European Cup, UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup.
What about Benfica and ajax
Best manager in the world, I don't know if his ego and personality is plus or negative for his career , since it brought him undying relentless and never giving up attitude but also regular problems with players media and management
2019 Ajax 😢
Top 5 leagues? Includes french league🤣
Wrong
1991
Red Star Belgarde won Champions league and they were not in top 10 leagues
BS point about players. Deque was at his pick.
Celtic won the champions league
Europe's top 5 leaugues? please stop….We have been fed with this top 5 european leaugues bull* for enough now. We all now that Portugal ( and the Netherlands) are far more succesfull than the French teams. Even now with all the oil money PSG has…
Celtic done it in 1967
it’s even more impressive that Monaco reached the ucl final
w benni
Jose' is the special ONE!
And the other one that did that was Ajax in 95
The special 1️⃣
People forget about FCSB from Romania who won the UCL in 85/86 against Barcelona and Red Star Belgrade from Serbia who won it in 90/91 against Marseille. This could be due to English clubs being unable to participate in Europe due to the Heysel disaster.
France isn't Europe's 5th best league. It's Portugal. This top 5 league BS…started when PSG injected oil money.
2004: The Year of the Underdogs
One important fact this short failed to mention: nearly every player on the team was either from the youth squad, a free transfer or purchased for little more than peanuts from lower local clubs. Mourinho literally built a team from nothing, unlike modern days where clubs essentially buy their trophies.
What about Ajax
The greatest ever
The chosen one 🎉
Cheat
dude even crvena svezda won a ucl
What about ajax
They also were massive divers
Ligue 1(top 5 league): 1 Champions League
Liga Portugal (not top 5 league): 4 Champions League
In 1986 romanian steaua bucharest won the ucl😅
Ajax should contract him
A serial winner. Your fav could NEVER.
Stueda bucrest won the champions league and there in romania
Deportivo La Coruña reaching the semis of the Champions League is crazier. Somebody at Tifo explain that, please.
Those were the days when UCL wasn't bought but earned!
Only beat United because of a goal wrongly ruled offside.
With the amount of financial takeovers currently happening, this kinda thing will most likely never happen again.
The 1986 UCL was crazier
Back when surprises could actually happen in European football. Now the winner is whoever has the most oil money. 😂
Mate forgot about FCSB
Since then, this has been the most one sided final, only seconded by Inter defeating Bayern 2-0
Also a Jose Mourinho team
Jose, the true mastermind tbh
sure lets not mention sir bobby robson
Pep Guardiola would never win a big trophy with a small team that can't spend billions.
