The fall is always harder to bear when you have been among the best for a long time, and that is something that Ajax fans know very well. Currently, they are going through a difficult period for their institution. In the last eight games, the Amsterdam giant has failed to achieve a victory, putting their stay in the Eredivisie League at risk. In their most recent match, they suffered a 4-3 defeat against Utrecht and are in second to last position with only five points, one ahead of Volendam, who has four points. Now, their next match will be against their classic rival, PSV, and they need to win by any means necessary.
Last year, in 2022, Ajax became the champion of the tournament. However, in the current season, they are going through their worst moment. They are far from the title race, an unusual position for the club, and they are in trouble to secure a spot in the next edition of the UEFA Champions League. Currently, the club's main goal is to stay in the First Division, but it's not an easy task. Additionally, the Dutch team also competes in the Europa League, where they have accumulated two draws, placing them third.
