It only took 18 minutes for Ajax midfielder Quincy Promes to score the Dutch side’s first goal of the Champions League season.
Fellow midfielder David Neres saved a cross on the left side, gave it up to Nicolas Tagliafico, who got the official assist sending the ball inside for Promes to head in for golazo.

The celebration featured your typical hyped team running off the field, but in the heat of the moment leading Ajax's Dusan Tadic gave a phenomenal slap to Neres.
Neres reacted as everyone else would, with the expression of a man thinking "what the hell?"

Tadic made up for the slap with a kiss on the cheek after continuing to celebrate with the scorer, Promes.
Champions League is finally back with all the scoring, drama and slapping that we can handle.
