The Spanish coach first reflected on the 2-2 draw with PSV at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. "After the match against PSV, I felt a strong mentality within the group. The game against the Eindhoven side showed the character of the team. The players responded well to conceding early and remained mentally strong. We were up against a very strong side and showed personality at important moments."
"Of course, there are always details we want to improve, especially in terms of defensive concentration and managing certain phases of the game better," García continued. "But overall, I saw a team that fought together and kept believing until the very end. That mentality is important heading into the final matches. The players know these final games will define a lot for next season, so there is confidence about what lies ahead. The focus during training sessions and in the dressing room has been good this week, but at the same time we need to stay calm and keep believing in our football."
Sunday's opponents
FC Utrecht are the visitors on Sunday from 16:45. "Klaassen has trained with the group again over the last few days. In addition, Owen Wijndal and Wout Weghorst have recovered." García then turned his attention to the opposition. "FC Utrecht are a strong team with clear ideas and a lot of intensity. They have had a good season so far and are difficult to play against because of their organisation. We are expecting a tough match, especially at this stage of the season when every point is crucial for every club. We will need to be focused from the very first minute and play with energy, ambition and discipline."
Third kit is youngest member of Ajax's shirt family
The third kit is a relative newcomer in the ever growing collection of Ajax shirts released each year. Ajacieden have only had access to a third kit since 2004. Over the past decade, the 'second away kit' has become a familiar presence both in the dressing room and in supporters’ wardrobes. This also applies to the special shirt for the 2026/2027 season.
