The crowd sang, danced, cheered and lit up flares as the smoke enveloped the fans with their heroes lifting trophies on the stage.
Ajax secured their 34th league title - a record for a Dutch team - after travelling to De Graafschap and beating them 4-1 on Wednesday (May 15) while clinching the KNVB Beker Cup final with a 4-0 win over Willem II 10 days earlier.
