Dusan Tadic has been the major driving force behind Ajax's improbable run to the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season.

The Eredivisie giants have won many admirers with their attractive free-flowing style of play, and at the top leading their attack and finishing their exuberant moves has been Dusan Tadic.

The 30-year-old former Southampton man is the most experienced player amidst a bunch of young unproven players, and his experience has come to the fore as Ajax continues their quest for an, unlike Champions League win.

His exploits started way back in July as he helped guide Ajax through the arduous journey of the Champions League qualifiers, starring with three goals from six matches to book their spot among the last 32.

In the tournament proper, the Serbian international did not get going until equalizing on matchday 4 in a 1-1 draw with Benfica but has not looked back since then, scoring five goals in his next four matches to book Ajax's spot in the quarterfinals for the first time in 23 years.
