Time for the field inspection. Could they have forgotten that at Oranje yesterday?

Yet Ajax again has to contend with a major absentee tonight. Sixteen-year-old super talent Lily Yohannes was fined last week and will therefore have to watch from the stands tonight. It’s a shame for her, but she will still play plenty of Champions League games in her career.

The shirts are ready, this time also Sherida Spitse’s. The 33-year-old captain of Ajax missed the previous match due to a suspension. “It’s very nice that she is back,” said trainer Suzanne Bakker a day before the match. “She has experience in her backpack, so she can help other players. The younger players then have to deal with fewer things at the same time. That experience and coaching are very nice.”

Let’s go back to last week. Ajax then lost 0-3 to Chelsea in the first match for a place in the semi-finals. A bright spot: no fewer than 35,997 tickets had been sold for the match in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. Never before have there been so many spectators at a match between women’s teams in the Netherlands.
