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)?

Didn't expected such result, but 3:0 reflects game quite well. And it summarize Ajax season pretty well. Awful performance in Champions and Europa league, they won't win Eredivisie and now likely will not qualify to Champions league next season. They still can win Cup, but obviously it wasn't main their goal of the season.
This game was interrupted for some time after PSV fans started throwing things like beer glasses at Ajax players. It's not first time when such things happened in Eredivisie this season and Ajax is again victim of such behaviour. I can't understand why fans are doing such things when their team leads 2:0...

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.

Not completely right, 2nd place goes to Champions league qualification and 3rd to Europa league qualification. So, now Ajax is likely to stay without Champions league next season. But realistically, none of teams doesn't looks capable to achieve something significant in Champions league. Now they only can go far in Europa league.
