Ajax delivered one of the most iconic Champions League performances in 2019 in living memory. Minutes away from reaching the final in Madrid, but Tottenham woke them from their slumber. Five years on, the club is no longer the club of the old days. Not even close.
His decline in the Eredivisie is confirmed as the seasons go by. Since winning it in 2022, he has not been the same. Last season, they finished 3rd with 69 points, 13 points behind champions Feyenoord.
Back to the present, Ajax are in 5th place in the Dutch championship with a lot of work to do. Among them, fighting for the Champions League qualification spot, from which they are 12 points behind.
On top of that, they have 44 points. 31 less than PSV, who are going for the title. More than half of their treasure. The Go Ahead Eagles will be their next test this Thursday (21:00) in a new attempt to cleanse the reputation of a team that is no longer the team of yesteryear.
