It’s all still to play for in Group B

AJAX’S hopes of progression to the quarter-finals of the Champions League remains on hold after they were held to a 1-1 draw with Valencia last night.

The result coupled with Arsenal’s draw with 10-man Roma at Highbury, means that any of the four teams from Group B can still qualify for the last eight, though the Italians will require a number of permutations if they are to progress.

A draw for Arsenal in their next match at Valencia later this month will be enough for their first ever quarter final appearance, while Roma must win at home to Ajax by two clear goals if they are to remain in the competition.
