After their embarrassing UCL humiliation
Ajax players were heartbroken after their painful 6-1 Champions League loss to Napoli, and they reportedly refused the usual shirt swap after the match, Apollo Heyes writes for Football Italia.
The Partenopei were on top form at the Johan Cruyff Arena last night, flying to a dominant win in Amsterdam as they continued their explosive start to the season. It was a wonderful showing from Luciano Spalletti and his squad, who now have one foot in the Round of 16 with three group games.
As highlighted by CalcioNapoli24, a member of the Napoli staff went to the Ajax dressing room after the match to exchange some shirts, a usual gesture after a Champions League match, but Ajax players rejected the offer.
The Ajax kit-man initially accepted the offer, briefly went into the dressing room, and then returned still holding the shirts, informing his Partenopei counterpart that the players didn’t get the gesture.
The refusal is a clear sign of the Dutch side’s dejection after such an embarrassing defeat in front of their home fans and capped off their negative evening in Amsterdam.

Good performance so far by Napoli players this season. They have helped to place Napoli on the Serie A on the map, unlike their 50% league loss handball team that had to pay off the entire referee staff last night.
Well done Napoli

Perhaps look at Barcelona’s inadequacies and failure to capitalize on scoring opportunities rather than suggesting Inter gave handouts!
I’m sure Barcelona will get their redemption when they play next, so settle down, little man!
On another note, brilliant performance from Napoli last night. And away from home, which is even more impressive! Kudos Spalletti and co!
Was Allegri watching Napoli’s performance – it was amazing; that’s how you play attacking football.
Ajax stars are sore losers, and they deserve this beating
