With Lasse Schöne's retirement from football, the game bids farewell to a true free-kick specialist. He scored them anytime and anywhere: from Paris Saint-Germain at home to the title-deciding match, and from the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu to the Klassieker. Here are all nineteen free-kick goals from the man with the magic touch.
Former Ajacied Lasse Schöne was honored prior to Ajax – NEC on Saturday. The Danish midfielder stole the hearts of many Ajax fans during his seven seasons in Amsterdam. After the 5-0 victory, Schöne expressed his thanks for the kind farewell, "It has been two years since I left. I really appreciate the fact that I could still say goodbye."
On March 5, 2019, exactly five years ago, Ajax wrote a new chapter in the rich club history against Real Madrid. Two years later, Dusan Tadic, Daley Blind, Nico Tagliafico, and Erik ten Hag looked back on that memorable evening in Madrid in the special titled 'Now Real will have to score 100!'
Kenneth Taylor and Youri Baas have both received individual honours. Taylor was voted Player of the Year by the supporters, while Baas was named Talent of the Year. Both players expressed pride in receiving their awards. "As a youth player, I watched Ajax players win this award. Now I’ve won it myself. That’s something really special."
