In the second round, Enzo Maresca’s side claimed an important 1–0 home victory over Benfica. In the English Premier League, the Londoners have been inconsistent, but wins over Liverpool and Nottingham Forest have lifted them to fifth place. Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer are in good form, consistently contributing key attacking plays.

Ajax started the group stage with losses to Inter and Marseille. In two matches, the Amsterdam side have yet to score and have conceded five goals, highlighting inefficiency in attack and defensive instability under John Heitinga. In the Dutch league, the situation is more stable: the team sits fourth, recording four wins, four draws, and one loss. Watch Chelsea vs. Ajax live online on MEGOGO on 22.10.2025.
