Overview
- In Amsterdam, Marcus Thuram scored two headers from Hakan Calhanoglu corners, with Yann Sommer stopping Jayden Oosterwolde Godts at 0-0 and 20-year-old Pio Esposito starting for the not fully fit Lautaro Martínez.
- The victory eased pressure on Cristian Chivu, who marked his Champions League coaching debut with a composed performance against his former club.
- In Turin, Juventus salvaged a point as Dusan Vlahovic struck twice late, Kenan Yildiz added a curler and Lloyd Kelly’s stoppage-time header sealed a frenetic second half of eight goals.
- Coach Igor Tudor accused referee François Letexier of denying Juventus a first-half penalty for handball, contrasting it with a later spot kick awarded to Dortmund that Ramy Bensebaini converted.
- A viral mix-up followed the equaliser when the stadium announcer credited Vasilije Adzic before replays showed Kelly scored; in Italy, Ajax–Inter aired exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
