In the first leg, the Dutch enjoyed the right to go home and started very lively. The first good opportunities did not take long. Nevertheless, it took up to 39th minute of play for Ajax to take the lead from the Roma through the ex-Brahmin classes. Tadic scored 1-0. With this, it also went into the mid-term break. After the change of sides, Ajax was still better and had the chance to increase from the point after only eight minutes. Tadic, who had previously turned 17 penalties in a row across all competitions, shot too weakly and thus parried Pau Lopez. In general, the keeper of the guests made an outstanding game. When Pellegrini equalized after 57 minutes, the Dutch were in demand and also came. But there was no passing Lopez. The fact that the landlords operated opportunistic vigilantes would revenge themselves shortly before the end when Roger Ibanez networked to guide the guests as if out of the blue. In the end, it remained the same.
With the victory in the first leg, the Romans have secured an excellent starting position for the upcoming second leg. The preliminary round ended with four victories, a draw and a bankruptcy. 13 looted points let AS Rome land at the top of Group A. As a group winner it was necessary to pass in the intermediate round against Braga. After two encounters, two victories were recorded (2:0, 3:1). The final of the eighteenth round was also contested very confidently against Shakhtar Donetsk and brought with it two victories (3:0, 2:1). With the 2-1 in the first leg against Ajax, a very good starting situation was also created for the upcoming second leg.
With a total of 25 goals scored, AS Rome is one of the best offensive teams in the competition. The defensive also doesn’t have to stretch out and has only had to concede eight goals so far. All in all, a consistently good performance. Borja Mayoral is the best attacker in his own ranks with seven goals.
At the national level, things have also gone uphill recently. After three winless pairings in a row, the last match day brought a narrow 1-0 victory over Bologna. With 54 points taken, the eleven currently occupies 7th place.

Ajax was once one of the champions league starters. There, however, the team lagged behind the strong competition for Liverpool and Atalanta. Seven points won in the end were only enough for the third place in the table. After all, this placement was enough to qualify for the Europa League. In the intermediate round two victories against Lille (2:1, 2:1) jumped out. The quarter-finals were played very confidently against the Young Boys (3-0, 2-0). The defeat in the quarter-final against Roma is to be regarded as a slip. It remains to be seen whether the rudder can be pulled around again in the second leg.
Ajax scored ten goals in the five knockout rounds so far. In addition, the defense team must score four goals. All in all, apart from the bankruptcy against Rome, not a bad performance. Klaassen and Tadic are the best attackers in their own ranks with three goals each.
In the Dutch Eredivisie Ajax is so far out of competition. The last five matches were won in a row. With 72 goals scored, Amsterdam ranks lonely at the top of the table. The lead on the chaser PSV Eindhoven measures eleven points.
