Chelsea have landed safely in the Dutch capital ahead of our UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Ajax on Tuesday evening.
Having progressed from Group D in top spot with an unbeaten record, the Blues have been pitted against Ajax and travel to the Johan Cruyff Arena for the first of a two-legged quarter-final tie with a semi-final against SK Brann or Barcelona the prize on offer.
Our opponents were the first Dutch side to reach the group stage and only the second to make the quarter-final stage of the competition, and this meeting will be the first between the teams in UEFA competitions.
