UEFA ranking: 21

Round of 16: 5-3 v Real Madrid
Top scorer: Dušan Tadić (6, 9 including qualifying)
Last season: third qualifying round (UEFA Europa League play-offs)

- Season in a nutshell: Last season Ajax crashed out of Europe in August; this time – while involved in another exciting title race with PSV Eindhoven – they came through three rounds of qualifying, then held Bayern twice in their group and took ten points off Benfica and AEK Athens. In the round of 16, after an unfortunate 2-1 home loss, Ajax stunned the holders 4-1 in the Spanish capital to end Madrid’s reign of over 1,000 days as European champions.
Manchester United (ENG)
![Watch United's incredible win in Paris Watch United's incredible win in Paris](https://www.livesportchannels.com/wp-content/plugins/rss-poster/cache/36185_fallback.jpg)
UEFA ranking: 16
This season: W4 D1 L3 F10 A7
Round of 16: 3-3 v Paris (through on away goals)
Top scorer: Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford (2)
Last season: round of 16
European Cup best: winners x3 (1968, 1999, 2008)
- Season in a nutshell: Where to start? United were well below par under José Mourinho for the first half of the season and sat 19 points off the Premier League summit when making a change in December. Caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been a breath of fresh air, overseeing 14 wins in his first 17 games. United are therefore right back in the hunt for a top-four spot and into the last eight of the FA Cup and, in spectacular fashion, Europe too.
Porto (POR)
![Porto squeeze past Roma in extra time Porto squeeze past Roma in extra time](https://www.livesportchannels.com/wp-content/plugins/rss-poster/cache/36185_fallback.jpg)
UEFA ranking: 9
This season: W6 D1 L1 F19 A9
Round of 16: 4-3 v Roma (aet)
Top scorer: Moussa Marega (6)
Last season: round of 16
European Cup best: winners x2 (1987, 2004)
- Season in a nutshell: Struggling without key figures such as Vincent Aboubakar and Marega, Porto left Rome with a 2-1 defeat before rallying to secure their quarter-final berth. It marked another fine performance from the Dragons, who are still vying for Portuguese Liga supremacy with Benfica – despite a 2-1 home loss to the Eagles on 2 March – as they chase a domestic double.
Tottenham Hotspur (ENG)
![Highlights: Dortmund 0-1 Tottenham Highlights: Dortmund 0-1 Tottenham](https://www.livesportchannels.com/wp-content/plugins/rss-poster/cache/36185_fallback.jpg)
UEFA ranking: 19
This season: W4 D2 L2 F13 A10
Round of 16: 4-0 v Dortmund
Top scorer: Harry Kane (5)
Last season: round of 16
European Cup best: semi-finals (1962)
- Season in a nutshell: Against the odds, Spurs have had another impressive campaign. Despite a delayed stadium move, no signings for two transfer windows running and a host of injuries including to Harry Kane, they have been in the Premier League title race for much of the season and are still dreaming of European glory. Take a bow, Mauricio Pochettino.
