Match Facts
This is the third European meeting between Chelsea and Ajax, having met twice in the 2019-20 UEFA Champions group stage – the Blues won 1-0 in Amsterdam, before a 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Ajax are winless in their last 11 major European matches against English teams (D2 L9) since a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in April 2019. They’ve failed to score a single goal in any of their last five, since a Mohammed Kudus goal against Liverpool in September 2022.
Chelsea have lost just two of their last 12 UEFA Champions League matches at Stamford Bridge (W9 D1), both of which were against Real Madrid in quarter-finals in 2021-22 and 2022-23. The Blues are unbeaten in their last 12 group games at Stamford Bridge (W8 D4) since a Valencia victory back in September 2019.
Ajax have lost their last five major European competition matches (three in UEFA Europa League last season, first two Champions League games this season). They haven’t lost six in a row since doing so between April 1988 and September 1989.
With Ajax on a five-game losing run in major European competition, this will be the seventh time Chelsea have faced a team who’ve lost their last 5+ games in Europe – they’ve won their previous six by an aggregate score of 14-0. The only English teams to lose against a side on such a run are Man City in 1970 vs Linfield in the Cup Winners’ Cup and Man Utd in 2019 vs Astana in the UEFA Europa League.
Chelsea are the only side yet to give a single minute to a player aged 30+ in the UEFA Champions League this season. Only two English sides have gone three or more games without fielding a player in their 30s – Liverpool in 2002-03 (6) and Spurs in 2016-17 (6).
John Heitinga has lost his first two UEFA Champions League matches as manager, the first Ajax boss to ever do that. Heitinga is one of four people to lose his first two games both as a player and manager in the competition with a club (with Ajax in 2003), along with Mark van Bommel at PSV, Ivan Leko at Club Brugge and Krunoslav Jurcic at Dinamo Zagreb, none of whom also lost their first three as Heitinga could do.
Jorthy Mokio became the second youngest Ajax player to appear in the UEFA Champions League when he debuted on MD2, aged only 17 years and 214 days. He was the 52nd teenager to appear in the competition for Ajax – the most of any team.
Only two players have made more tackles in this season’s UEFA Champions League than Chelsea midfielder Moisés Caicedo (9) – he made more tackles than any other player across MD2, with seven in the win over Benfica.
Although he is yet to score in the UEFA Champions League for Chelsea, one of João Pedro’s six previous major European goals was netted against Ajax back in September 2023 in the UEFA Europa League for Brighton in a 2-0 win. No player has ever netted against Ajax for two different English clubs in major European competition.
