Ajax, just like Benfica, still hasn’t managed to earn any points in the Champions League. Last night, the Amsterdam team visited Chelsea, where they suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat. Following this humiliating loss, Wesley Sneijder did not hold back in his criticism of the Dutch club’s players, stating that they do not deserve the badge they represent.

There are players on the pitch who simply are not worthy of Ajax".

After pointing out the team’s poor performance, led by the Dutch legend John Heitinga, Sneijder continued and made a statement about the squad that will face Benfica in the Champions League: "Not all, but there are too many players with limited abilities".

To reinforce his point of view, the number 10 of the Oranje used a specific example: "If we look at the game against Chelsea... Taylor is the most creative player, but we didn’t see him because he was sent off after 15 minutes".

However, the criticism of the performance against Chelsea didn’t stop there, and Sneijder also targeted three more players from the Dutch club who were in action at Stamford Bridge: "That is unacceptable. Defensively, I believe Sutalo is not worthy of Ajax and neither is Lucas Rosa. Baas played very badly. As a left-back, it’s just not possible anymore".
