Profiles of the 11 teams already through to the Champions League round of 16

#Ajax

UEFA ranking: 17
Group C: winners (W5 D0 L0 F16 A3)
Last season: group stage (UEFA Europa League quarter-finals)
European Cup best: winners (1970/71, 1971/72, 1972/73, 1994/95)
Campaign in ten words: Fearless, dynamic, inventive and relentlessly attack-minded: at home and away.

Coach: Erik ten Hag
Ten Hag has done a magnificent job with a squad that is constantly evolving. After taking Ajax to the brink of the UEFA Champions League final in 2018/19, he lost many of the team’s key players that summer, but has simply rebuilt the side: same script, different actors.

Key player: Sébastien Haller
The first player ever to score nine goals in his first five UEFA Champions League matches. The Ivory Coast striker has taken to the top tier with aplomb.

Did you know?
Ajax have won their opening five UEFA Champions League group games for the first time in their history.
