Erik ten Hag saw that Benfica - Ajax (2-2) was played in a high intensity. That was mainly because Ajax itself was careless on the ball. "Because of that, there were a lot of changes of possession. That costs a lot of energy."
Benfica - Ajax (2-2) was the most intense game so far in the UEFA Champions League campaign, according to Noussair Mazraoui. "It was a very difficult game, with a lot of sprints back and forth."
Benfica and Ajax drew 2-2 on Wednesday after an intense ninety minutes in Portugal. Thought Erik ten Hag's team was the dominant side in the first half, the home side took control in the second half. A draw, ultimately, seems a fair result for the balance of the game at the Estádio da Luz.
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.
