AJAX NEWS

Ajax was disappointed to lose Eredivisie race for only one point margin, but if they defeat Manchester United and lift Europa League trophy, this season will be regarded as very successful. On the road to the final, Ajax eliminated Legia Warshaw by 1:0, FC Copenhagen by 3:2, Schalke by 4:3 and Lyon by 5:4. They conceded 7 goals in their last 3 Europa League matches, and that can be a problem in the final. However, the Dutch team is always attack-minded, and they will try to outscore the famous English club.
