It’s a time that those under 30 cannot experience. In 1995, Ajax Amsterdam made football history by winning the Champions League against the experienced Italians AC Milan (1-0). The Dutch team, led by a legendary coach, Louis Van Gaal, was made up of prodigies from the Batavian training center, a golden generation who would splash the planet with their talent for a decade. The young European champions would then win the European Super Cup, then the Intercontinental Cup. Doesn’t that remind you of anything?
The similarities between PSG and Ajax Amsterdam are obvious. Paris became the second youngest club to win the Champions League last season (24 years and 138 days), just behind Ajax (23 years and 336 days). The two teams share a style, a philosophy and bring a breath of fresh air to their sport. Above all, they fully embrace the desire to trust young players.
