Dutch football giants Ajax are reeling after their worst defeat in 97 years—a brutal 6-0 thrashing by rivals Feyenoord in Sunday’s Eredivisie clash. The match, dubbed a \"nightmare in Rotterdam,\" saw Feyenoord dominate from start to finish, scoring three goals before halftime and three more in a merciless second half. 😱
Feyenoord’s Igor Paixao, Yankuba Minteh, and David Hancko turned the game into a highlight reel, while Ajax failed to register a single shot on target. The loss leaves Ajax languishing in sixth place, seven points off Europa League qualification—a far cry from their usual dominance.
This season has been a 🎢 rollercoaster of chaos for Ajax: four managers, a suspended CEO over insider trading allegations, and even a chairman accused of failing to disclose shares. Their recent last-gasp draw against Go Ahead Eagles now feels like a small blip in a sea of disasters.
Once a titan of European football, Ajax’s struggles highlight deeper issues: managerial instability, off-field scandals, and a squad that’s lost its spark. Fans are left wondering: Can this fallen giant rise again? 💔
