On Europe's biggest stage, Benfica & Ajax meet in the Round of 16 on Wednesday night in Lisbon. Two clubs and a competition that are all built on history. In this collaboration with Benfica, we prepare for an extraordinary evening. Special thank you to the Ets Haim library for allowing us to film this project in their beautiful space.
Ajax is in Portugal for the first leg of the tie with Benfica in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. We followed the team from the moment they got on the plane until the final training before the clash with the Portuguese side.
Erik ten Hag doesn’t want to discuss who are the favorites for the clash with Benfica in the round of sixteen in the UEFA Champions League. He made that clear during the press conference in Estadio da Luz on Tuesday evening. "It means very little to me. It will be decided on the pitch."
In his debut season in the UEFA Champions League, Sébastien Haller has made a lasting impression. The Ajax striker was the top scorer in the group stage with ten goals in six matches. In the run-up to the Round of 16 match in Lisbon against Benfica, we sat with Haller to talk about his fantastic performance in the group stage.
