 They were not as dominant as the previous year, but with a seemingly unstoppable attack, they scored no less than 122 goals (still a national record), of which 33 were from Johan Cruyff, who, at just 20 years of age, was already the team's star player.It was also the season for another important milestone—for the first time in history, Ajax won the double (after defeating NAC Breda in the cup final).It earned them European Cup qualification, being knocked out by Real Madrid in the subsequent season, with Veloso scoring the winner for "Los Merengues" in extra time after two 1–1 draws, results which greatly enhanced the reputation of the club.
