Ajax reached the Champions League last Wednesday in the preliminaries to settle with the Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kiev. I had tickets for this match and managed to get in the Amsterdam ArenA, I enjoyed the euphoria and a genuine European Cup atmosphere.
Well before the match were the squares around the Amsterdam ArenA already flooded. On entering the field by the players by the entire stadium silver above the head, which gave an impressive effect. The match ended in 1-1 in Kiev was, so the signs on a beautiful evening were good football.
I was with a Ukranian come to Amsterdam, and of course secretly hoping that the club would win from his homeland. In the first half it seemed there too, because the visitors were much better. But after three opportunities open goal managed to miss, Suarez made via Ajax 1-0 and when the chances were gone.
In the second half went from Ajax to 2-0 over El Hamdaoui. Andrei Sjevchenko, the absolute superstar of Kiev, was at that time constantly chewing out his teammates. Ultimately, if the old master still build an unjust penalty for which was to make it 2-1.
Ajax soccer bar was bad, but that was obviously not to. The atmosphere was fantastic and the Champions League was achieved. This may involve recording Ajax against AC Milan, Real Madrid and AJ Auxerre. I wonder if that will happen.
Incidentally, the football week was a nice follow because my club PSV 5-0 did away with Sibir Novosibirsk in Russia and FC Utrecht with 4-0 achieved a historic victory over Celtic.
An impression of the full Arena:
