Ajax vs Inter

Internazionale are unbeaten across all 13 of their UEFA Champions League games against sides from the Netherlands (W10 D3), never facing sides from a country more often in the competition without suffering defeat.

Ajax have lost three consecutive home matches in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since October 2019 to October 2020 under Erik ten Tag.

Internazionale have scored six goals from corner situations in the UEFA Champions League since the start of last season, the most of any side. Indeed, both of their goals tonight were assisted by Hakan Çalhanoglu at corners – he has assisted two goals in a single game in this competition once before, back in October 2014 for Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs Zenit.

Ajax have failed to win any of their four UEFA Champions League games against Internazionale (D1 L3), never facing a side more often in the competition without ever winning.

Internazionale are unbeaten across all 12 of their UEFA Champions League games against sides from the Netherlands (W9 D3), never facing sides from a country more often in the competition without suffering defeat.

After winning their first three UEFA Champions League games against Italian sides without conceding a single goal, Ajax have since won just three of their last 25 (D9 L13) – keeping just three clean sheets in that time.  

Johnny Heitinga will become the fifth different person to both play for and manage Ajax in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, after Johan Cruijff, Ronald Koeman, Frank de Boer and Danny Blind. All 12 of the former defender’s appearances for Ajax in the competition came under either Koeman or Blind.

Between the 2022-23 and 2024-25 seasons, Internazionale kept 20 clean sheets in the UEFA Champions League, five more than any other team. However, they conceded 13 goals in their final four games of last season, shipping at least two goals in each match.
