Ajax can qualify for the group stage of the new Champions League season on Sunday. “That is good for our club’s bank account,” said trainer Francesco Farioli at a press conference. “We can make people happy, but FC Utrecht is a difficult opponent. They made it difficult for us here in Amsterdam. At that time we played our best first half of the season, but had to settle for a draw.”
Ajax defends a nine points lead on the second -classified PSV, with five more rounds to go in the Eredivisie.
