Despite not winning any prizes this season, Brian Brobbey believes that Ajax still has a chance to salvage their season by securing second place in the Eredivisie.

This response by the Dutch-born Ghanaian striker has caused some consternation among some Dutch journalist who think Brobbey's response reveals how low the mighty Ajax has sunk.

Following their defeat in the cup final against PSV, the striker was asked by Hans Kraay Jr. whether obtaining a Champions League preliminary round ticket would have partially saved their season.

Brobbey responded by saying, "Definitely. We have to reach the Champions League regardless, that's our goal." This statement has generated surprising reactions among Dutch journalist of the new FCUpdate Podcast, hosted by Stan Timmerman and edited by Thijs Meijaard.

The defeat is a blow to Ajax's hopes of securing a trophy this season, and they are now on track to end the campaign without silverware for the first time since 2017-18.
