Addressing the issues supporters have faced at Schiphol Airport, the director of the official Ajax supporters' association said: "I know the stories of fans who have missed their flight and are now doing everything they can to get here. They have got into a car, take the boat or fly through the strangest detours. Away against Liverpool, everyone wants to be there. Especially because we were not welcome here two years ago because of corona.” Captain of the reigning Eredivisie champions, Dusan Tadic added: "Schiphol must solve this, we want our fans here with us."
