Is Ajax the top candidate now to win the UEFA Champions League? Well, these numbers surely back their options to win one more title in this competition.
The Dutch team seems to have the talent, the goalscoring skills, the drive, and apparently, history's backing in their quest for another title, especially when you look at their record away from home.
Ajax managed to get past Tottenham, which cemented their status as one of the best teams in the current UCL season.

If that is not enough reason to convince you about Ajax's chances of winning the title, have a look at the two clubs Ajax just matched with their performance today.
3 - @AFCAjax are the third team to win their round of 16, quarter-final and semi-final away game in a Champions League season, after FC Bayern in 2012-13 and Real Madrid in 2017-18. Historic. pic.twitter.com/gwmUgJIrex

Yes, both teams that accomplished that feat went on to win the title. Can the Dutch youngsters pull it off? We will see if this streak continues!
