Ajax Amsterdam plays Barcelona on Tuesday in a Champions League match. The game starts at 2:45 p.m. ET (8:45 local). A link to the free live stream is provided below.
Barcelona sits comfortably atop Group H with 10 points, five points clear of second-place AC Milan. A win or a draw on Tuesday would be enough to secure Barcelona a spot in the next round. Ajax, meanwhile, is in contention to advance as the group's runner up as they trail one point behind Milan.
Barcelona is on a five-game winning streak in which they've scored 10 goals while allowing only two. The streak is more impressive given what the club has been able to do without star Lionel Messi, who is sidelined until at least January with a thigh injury.
"In my eyes we're missing the best player in the world so that's always a bit difficult, but we have other players who can play and maintain the quality of our team," Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino said, via IB Times. "So if we don't win (Tuesday) it's not because Messi isn't playing."
Despite the comfortable lead in the group standings, Martino knows his team cannot underestimate Ajax.
"I always considered Ajax a great team who know what they need to do on the pitch," he said. "They are technically skilled and they know how to play. Ajax like to have the ball, they play quickly, so it won't be easy to get the ball off them. They aren't afraid to take risks, so we have to put pressure, get the ball and maintain ball possession."
