After taking a fourteen-point lead over PSV Eindhoven, Ajax gradually shifted its focus to the Champions League.
In the twenty-sixth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax traveled to face AZ Alkmaar.
Yang Yang once again made extensive rotations, but Ajax still narrowly defeated AZ Alkmaar 1–0 away from home.
Ajax's performance in this match was far from ideal. The team's recent battles on multiple fronts had gradually exposed quite a few problems, especially the inconsistency of its young players. But at the crucial moment, Van de Beek stepped forward and secured all three points for Ajax with a goal.
This was also in line with Yang Yang's expectations for Ajax.
No team could maintain a high level of performance for a long time. The key was whether someone could step forward during a slump. Sometimes it was Jović, sometimes Van de Beek, and it could just as easily be Ødegaard or Ndombele.
Ajax narrowly defeated AZ Alkmaar away from home, while PSV Eindhoven likewise edged Venlo by a single goal. The gap between the two teams had not widened.
With only eight rounds remaining in the Eredivisie, anyone could see that Ajax winning the title was already a foregone conclusion.
The only suspense was whether Ajax, which had already secured twenty-six consecutive victories, could keep its winning streak alive.
Or whether the team could finish this Eredivisie season with a perfect record.
Whatever happened, this would be a season that would go down in the history of Ajax and the Eredivisie!
At the same time as Ajax narrowly defeated AZ Alkmaar away from home, Real Madrid, far away in Madrid, finally welcomed a change.
The match was still a hard-fought and awkward affair, but Real Madrid finally managed to claim victory.
