The Amsterdam Arena, a modern stadium boasting approximately 56,000 seats for football matches and 71,000 seats for music concerts, was unveiled for the 1996/97season. Despite this addition, Ajax managed to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League that season, defeating Atletico Madrid and Rangers along the way, yet falling short against Juventus. However, despite their European success, Ajax could only secure a 4th place finish in the premier league, accumulating 61points based on the standard 3points for a win and 44points under the previous system of 2points for a win, with only 17wins in 34games and a goal difference of +24.
