Wow. I know some of you said it wasn't a surprise but I have to admit I didn't see this coming. Ajax in third place and maybe, just maybe even forced to consider having to fight off in the playoff for a spot in Conference League!
Alkmaar continues to upstage my expectations, can they pip Ajax to a guaranteed spot next season (that's even if they don't buy their own ticket by winning Conference)?
From what I understand, the number 2 also has an extra ticket for the CL from next season. And the number 3 would then be allowed to play preliminary round. Ajax will have to make do with a placement for the EL, but I think that is also where Ajax belongs. Only Feyenoord has a team that can compete with strong teams in Europe, but if you play against teams like PSG and City I would like to see it in a full tub. Arne Slot is irreplaceable, as soon as he leaves it will collapse like a house of cards, just like it happened with Ajax when Ten hag left.
