Ajax are staring at the possibility of an early Champions League exit when the league phase concludes on Wednesday night. The Dutch giants currently sit 32nd out of 36 teams with six points, leaving them with a slim chance of progressing to the knockout stages.
The Amsterdam side will host Olympiakos in a crucial final group match, needing a win to keep any hopes alive. Among the squad is 19-year-old Dutch-born Ghanaian forward Don-Angelo Konadu, who made his Champions League debut in December 2025, providing an assist in Ajax’s 4-2 win over Qarabag.
Only the top eight teams automatically qualify for the last 16, while teams ranked 9th to 24th enter a two-legged play-off. The bottom 12 sides are eliminated, making Wednesday’s fixture decisive for Ajax.
As it stands, Kairat Almaty, Eintracht Frankfurt, Villarreal, and Slavia Prague have already been confirmed out of the competition, underscoring the stakes for the Dutch giants as they aim to salvage their campaign.
