How Liverpool fans fared on their trip to the game against Ajax, reminiscing about the Paris final

Liverpool advanced to the last 16 of the Champions League with three quick-fire goals before and after halftime to beat Ajax 3-0 on Wednesday. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring with a fine finish in the 42nd minute, Darwin Nunez doubled the lead with a header four minutes into the second half and Harvey Elliott made it 3-0 with a powerful shot into the roof of the net in the 52nd as Liverpool woke from a slow start to sweep aside Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

The home side missed two good chances in the first half before Liverpool took the initiative. Steven Berghuis hit the post from close range in just the third minute after being released by Brian Brobbey's short pass. The young striker, who has been named in Dutch coach Louis van Gaal's provisional World Cup squad, then set up Dusan Tadic on 36 minutes but the Ajax captain fired straight at Trent Alexander-Arnold.

From then on, it was all Liverpool. A pass with the outside of his right foot from Jordan Henderson found Salah in space between Daley Blind and Calvin Bassey, and the Egyptian striker lobbed the ball beyond Remko Pasveer for his sixth goal of the Champions League campaign. "Sensational pass from Hendo, then Mo's finishing is outstanding," Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said.

One of the most striking things was the good number of Liverpool fans who turned up at the Johan Cruyff Arena to support the Reds who were looking to book their direct qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League, which they achieved after winning 3-0.

Better than Paris

In this regard, the journalist James Pearce posted a message on his social networks in which he highlighted the good reception they had Liverpool fans, besides that there was a lot of security, something that was not in the final in Paris: ‘Heard loads of positive things from travelling Liverpool fans about the stewarding and policing tonight. Great atmosphere around the city all day.  Exactly what a European away should be like. Amazing what happens when you treat people with respect.  Paris take note’.
