Eredivisie looking after their own.

Dutch FA cancels Eredivisie games before Ajax meet Tottenham

Champions League: Dutch FA cancels Eredivisie games before Ajax meet Tottenham

Ajax were set to play De Graafschap on Sunday, 28 April, then travel to Spurs for the first leg on Tuesday, 30 April.

The Dutch FA, the KNVB, said the decision to cancel top-flight fixtures was taken to give Ajax "at least two full days of rest between games".

"Not only Ajax, but all Dutch football benefits from this," it said.

All games have been cancelled to avoid Ajax and De Graafschap playing at the end of the season once other games have taken place, potentially compromising the competition.

The round of fixtures will instead be played on Wednesday, 15 May - subject to local authorities and police agreeing to the date changes.

Not what you want to hear from your best defender.

He's not the first to say it, and to be honest, you can't really stop Messi, unless you stop him from getting the ball, which is what juve did a couple seasons ago, and Roma did in the 2nd leg last year, they cut off the passing lanes etc so the ball couldn't get to Messi and Suarez. The tie will be won or lost in the midfield.

To me, this is absolute Bush League Bullshit. Can you imagine LaLiga doing this for Real or Barcelona Or the EPL doing this for United or City? People would be up in arms about how it’s unfair. Yet somehow the Netherlands up and does it. SMH

La Liga HAS rescheduled League and Cup games for Barca and Real in the past, so has the Bundesliga and Serie A in the past.

English fans have been bitching to the FA for years to do this for English teams instead of having so much match congestion at the end of the season.

I stand corrected. Thank you

I still think it’s ridiculous.

Here's to hoping Pique makes a monumental blunder as he is prone to do.

Liverpool down 1-0 at half.

Not terrible but IMO they must find a goal in the 2nd half because I think Barca gets another one.

Don't want to go into the 2nd leg needing to beat Barca by 2+ goals to advance.

Lose this 1-0 or 2-1 and you have a solid chance to advance

Messi with a ridiculous strike.

3-0 Barca.

Didn't think Liverpool would look just as bad as United did at the Camp Nou.

I thought at best Barca win by 2 goals

Liverpool must find a goal.

No way they win by 3+ goals next week.

I can see them winning 2-0

Liverpool just missed several great chances to get on the board.

Not good.

To be down 3-0 when you have more shots than Barca and the same amount of shots on goal as Barca doesn't make sense to me

Couldn’t finish man. Barca is the best team in the world but Liverpool had their chances. This one hurts because this team will go another year without a trophy. SMH
