History

Historical Context

On 24 May 1995 Ajax beat Milan 1-0 in Vienna, securing the 40th European Cup title and underscoring Dutch dominance in the re-branded Champions League. That decisive goal and the tournament’s new format inspired later French clubs; today Luis Enrique’s PSG, fresh from a 5-4 win over Bayern, cites the 1995 triumph as a model for chasing Ligue 1 glory.
