UEFA Champions League 2018/19 Playoffs: The stars making the headlines

#3 Dusan Tadic (Ajax)

Tadic celebrates during Ajax's 3-1 win over Dynamo Kyiv in their first leg clash

Tadic first gained attention during his breakthrough seasons with both Groningen and FC Twente, but it was during his four-year spell with Southampton where he established his quality as a top-class player.

Serbia were underwhelming during the World Cup but Dusan has moved on smoothly since then, setting up Donny van de Beek for Ajax's opener before scoring the all-important third goal during their 3-1 first leg win over a tricky opponent in Dynamo Kyiv.

The victory gives them a two-goal cushion and means they could be returning to Europe's top club competition for the first time in four seasons - Tadic being one of their key components.
