Ajax Women suffered defeat in the first leg of the final qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Champions League. Real Madrid proved too strong at sport complex De Toekomst, securing a 0-2 victory. The return leg will be played on September 2 in Spain.
Ajax trained at sports complex de Toekomst on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for their UEFA Conference League play-off match against FC Sion. The training session was open to the media for the first fifteen minutes. After the session, Ajax head coach Míchel Sánchez and captain Davy Klaassen faced the national and international press in the media room at the Johan Cruyff ArenA.
Ajax Women are set to face Real Madrid at home in the play-offs of the UEFA Women's Champions League. Ajax booked their place in the play-offs by winning a mini-tournament in Glasgow. Together with Femke Liefting and Nadine Noordam, we look back on the tournament in Scotland and ahead to Wednesday evening's clash. "They have a lot of individual quality, but I genuinely believe we can win."
Ajax Women made it two wins from two in the Eredivisie season, beating PEC Zwolle 1-0. Just as they did against FC Utrecht a week earlier, Anouk Bruil's side needed only a single goal to secure all three points.
