"Ajax conceded a 99th-minute equaliser against Groningen, jeopardizing their title hopes after leading by nine points just five matches prior, highlighting a historic collapse."
"No team in Europe's top seven leagues has surrendered such a significant lead this late in the season since 1995-96, illustrating the unprecedented nature of Ajax's failure."
Ajax's recent football season has seen them surrender a substantial nine-point lead in the Eredivisie title race, culminating in a shocking last-minute equalizer against Groningen. They led PSV by nine points but failed to secure a single win in their subsequent four matches, leading to a precarious second place just one point behind PSV. With only one game remaining, Ajax must win while hoping PSV drops points to avoid a remarkable fall from grace in European football history, with statistics showing no one has blown such a lead since 1996.
