It is peace in Frankfurt. Ajax is eliminated by Eintracht in the first half hour and is a 2-0 deficit. Only towards the end of the first half do the team from Amsterdam get better in the game.

With a backlog of 4-1 over two duels, qualification for the quarterfinals becomes an almost impossible task. The choice of coach Farioli for a B team does not work out well.

At Ajax, the expectations of Don-Angelo Konadu are high. “We see a player who has a lot of potential to become a basic player of Ajax 1 in the near future,” said Voetbal Marijn Beuker at the end of October, after the attacker had signed a new contract until mid -2028.

Konadu can handle multiple positions in the front. “We challenge him from the left and ten, to be the ultimate Ajax striker in the long term,” said Frank Peereboom, coach of Young Ajax, at the Club Canal.

The 18-year-old Konadu played seventeen games for Young Ajax in the first division this season, in which he scored once. In the Eredivisie, he made his debut against Go Ahead Eagles on February 23 this year and participated for one minute. He received nineteen minutes against Frankfurt last week.

Does rejected penalty Álvarez lead to a change of line?

Back to the Champions League evening of yesterday. A lot of fuss arose when in the penalty shootout at Atletico Madrid – Real Madrid a striking attempt by Julian Álvarez was rejected because he already hit the ball with his standing leg for his shot. That is not allowed according to the rules.

Atletico Madrid remained in wonder and today they asked for clarification at UEFA. The European Football Association indicates that the penalty kick was rightly declared invalid, but that there is a conversation with the FIFA and game rule committee IFAB to see if the rule can be adjusted.

At the moment the rule is:

“De Nemer may not touch the ball a second time until it is touched by another player of one of the two teams or goes out of the game (including in the goal).”

AZ at 9 p.m. against Tottenham Hotspur

AZ made a thunderous surprise last week by beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0. That gives no guarantees for tonight, but the Alkmaarders will undoubtedly have gained a lot of confidence with that victory. Tonight the challenge is waiting to defend the lead in London and finally reach the next round. A new stunt would fit in this European campaign, which previously won from Galatasaray, AS Roma and Fenerbahçe, among others.

AZ is struggling with some personnel problems. Mayckel Lahdo, Denso Kasius, Ruben van Bommel, Sven Mijnans and Jayden Addai are missing by injury. Mexx Meerdink is there. The attacker returns after stood aside with an injury after a month and a half.
