Thursday Champions League draw: who can meet Ajax? | Football

The team from Amsterdam is in pot 1 and meets three lesser opponents on paper, although the team of trainer Alfred Schreuder can still be linked to top clubs such as Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

Rangers FC, which obtained a ticket for the Champions League at the expense of PSV on Wednesday, is in pot four and is also one of the possible opponents.

FC Copenhagen is also a potential opponent. The Danes qualified for the group stage of the million-dollar ball thanks to a 0-0 draw with Turkish Trabzonspor on Wednesday. The Danes, with the Dutchman Kevin Diks in the base, had won 2-1 at home against the Turkish team. The game was led by Dutch referee Danny Makkelie.

Dinamo Zagreb needed an extension against the Norwegian Bodø/Glimt. The Norwegians won the first game 1-0, in Zagreb it was 2-1 after 90 minutes. Goals from Josip Drmic and Petar Bockaj deep into extra time decided the battle in favor of the Croats.

On Tuesday, the Portuguese Benfica, the Israeli Maccabi Haifa and the Czechs of Viktoria Pilsen had already gained access to the Champions League via the play-offs.
