Neres is also a major doubt. Therefore Idrissi may have to start. As for the defense, unfortunately we are going to have to play Schuurs, since J. Timber is absent.

Schuurs reminds me of a less extreme Mike van der Hoorn. Is he just unlucky or is he bad at making decisions on the field?

Ajax seem to be on par with most of the other clubs who are likely to qualify for the quarter finals of the Europa League. I wasn't expecting Ajax to get past Lille but here we are. I mean to do that, and to breeze through a tie with a team that knocked out Leverkusen, Ajax may be the top two out of the remaining teams.

Milan has never won this trophy. That makes that teams like FC Barcelona, Juventus (maybe Bayern?) and Ajax are in a very exclusive list of clubs that won all ever organised club trophies and Milan is not.

Granada makes their debute in Europe and they play almost as annoying as Getafe with almost zero sportmanship.

In the next round Ajax will probably be at least equal to most teams and favourite against all Spanish, Scottish or Czech Republic teams that will be left.

True, but Ajax are in prime form unlike February last year when they had to play Getafe. Granada are too weak to match up to Ajax. I hope AC Milan beat Man Utd, although I think it will be 50/50, Man United need a score draw of at least 2-2 they are capable of that, and Milan are vulnerable at the back. If Ajax don't get Granada in the quarter finals, then I will settle for Arsenal, Rangers even AS Roma, since they scraped wins against Young Boys.

I also think AC Milan vs Man Utd is a 50/50 game, would not be surprised if Man United manages to get through in an away game. But you never know, perhaps Milan even beats them with a high score.

Rangers in quarter final seems on paper a not such a difficult draw, but it's impressive for how long Rangers are already unbeaten. In Scotland, but also in Europe it started with qualification against Willem II and a couple more rounds to get in group phase and still in March they have lost zero EL games. Slavia Prague had way more chances than Rangers, so it seemed 7 days ago.

Ajax taking revenge on Spurs and then directly also on Mourinho or Ajax beating Manchester United by clear numbers also sound like attractive perspective and in my opinion not impossible. NOTHING IS impossible for our great club.

not as commanding as in the previous game but we also don’t need to. btw Tottenham crashed out as Zagreb beat them 3-0

I caught the last 15 minutes of the Spurs game and a bit of the ET before the Ajax match. Really happy that Mourinho has to go back to London with no more Euro matches!!!

yup. I’m very happy that they lost. Way things are going mourinho might lose his job. Very happy for Zagreb. They are a dangerous team with a very good defense. Last time they did this well in Europe was when they gave us a hard time in their late 90s me thinks
