WATCH: Innovation Champions - Ajax's systemic brilliance helping them shine in UEFA Champions League

Following their remarkable toppling of holders Real Madrid, Ajax are ready to continue their European resurgence against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

They may not possess the financial muscle or global superstars like their upcoming opponents, but the system implemented by Erik ten Hag is getting the best out of his players and sending shivers down the spine of their adversaries.

The four-time Champions League winners boast the best passes-per-defensive action rate in this season's UCL, while they have also forced the most turnovers ending in shots (14), meaning their pressing from the front is the most effective among Europe's best.

Their attackers have certainly been capitalising from the high-pressure style, too; midfielder Dusan Tadic, instrumental in their triumph over Real Madrid, is only behind Barcelona pair Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in terms of Expected Assists.
