Ajax has been very lucky in the tournament till now. But their luck will run out next week against Tottenham.
Lucky ? You've gotta be kidding right ? They've been the most unlucky team in this tournament! Where they are now has nothing to do with being lucky, They are brilliant and just that's it! They played against Bayern Munich in the group stage, Madrid at the round of 16, and Juventus at quarter finals do you still consider them lucky, They were obviously better than any these teams over the two leg matches, and Only lost once, at home to Real Madrid which was controversial, They then went ahead to win the 2nd in a grand style, The same thing against Juventus, They've not been lucky, they fully deserve all their results so far!
Yes, they worked hard for their victories and I wasn't trying to downplay the effort they put in the ground. I was just saying that the things worked out for them at the right time and the other teams couldn't make use of the star power. If you remember their match against Real Madrid, then you will realize that luck played its part. Everyone had written them off, after the 1-2 loss at home. But the away match was such an upset and no one expected that result.
