Match Facts

  • Ajax have failed to win any of their four UEFA Champions League games against Internazionale (D1 L3), never facing a side more often in the competition without ever winning.

  • Internazionale are unbeaten across all 12 of their UEFA Champions League games against sides from the Netherlands (W9 D3), never facing sides from a country more often in the competition without suffering defeat.

  • After winning their first three UEFA Champions League games against Italian sides without conceding a single goal, Ajax have since won just three of their last 25 (D9 L13) – keeping just three clean sheets in that time.  

  • Johnny Heitinga will become the fifth different person to both play for and manage Ajax in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, after Johan Cruijff, Ronald Koeman, Frank de Boer and Danny Blind. All 12 of the former defender’s appearances for Ajax in the competition came under either Koeman or Blind.

  • Between the 2022-23 and 2024-25 seasons, Internazionale kept 20 clean sheets in the UEFA Champions League, five more than any other team. However, they conceded 13 goals in their final four games of last season, shipping at least two goals in each match.

  • Internazionale had the oldest starting XI in terms of average age in the UEFA Champions League last season (31y 34d), with nine of their 15 starting line-ups having an average age of 30 or older.

  • No team scored more goals from crosses than Internazionale (7) in the UEFA Champions League last season, with over a quarter of their goals in 2024-25 being netted in this fashion (27% - 7/26).

  • Internazionale’s Lautaro Martínez scored with 39% of his shots in the UEFA Champions League last season (nine goals from 23 attempts); the highest conversion rate of any player to attempt 15+ shots.

  • Kenneth Taylor was both Ajax’s top goalscorer (15) and joint-top assist provider (8) in all competitions during the 2024-25 season, while since he made his first start in major European competition in 2022-23, he is also the team’s top scorer in Europe (8 goals).

  • Internazionale’s Manuel Akanji completed 90% of his passes made under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League last season (226/251); the highest success rate of any defender (min. 200 attempts).
