The full schedule is as follows:
"If I'm honest, Liverpool are the favourites in the pool," Alfred Schreuder said. The coach watched the UEFA Champions League draw on Thursday evening and saw Ajax being linked to the English giants, Napoli and Rangers FC in the group stage. Jurriën Timber also had his eyes on the draw.
Ajax is set to face off against Liverpool, Napoli and Rangers FC in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. This group was the outcome of Thursday evening's draw in Istanbul, Turkey. The first round of the largest European club tournament is scheduled for Tuesday, September 6 and Wednesday, September 7.
Ajax has produced an exclusive documentary for Prime Video. During last season, cameras followed former Ajax Academy players Ryan Gravenberch, Jurriën Timber and Devyne Rensch, both on and off the pitch. This led to the documentary AJAX: Pearls of Amsterdam. The documentary will be available exclusively on Prime Video from 7 October.
