Wednesday saw a terrific home win over FC Midtjylland. The final score at the Johan Cruijff ArenA was the 3-1, with goals from Ryan Gravenberch, Noussair Mazraoui and David Neres.
The win does at least guarantee Ajax European action over the winter in the Europa League. The Amsterdam side want something more however, with their eyes on securing a place in the knockout stage of the Champions League.
This made Atalanta's 2-0 away win over Liverpool far from ideal. The English side still leads Group D, but both Ajax and Atalanta now only trail them by two points.
