Ajax's Wout Weghorst, who was once called a ‘fool' by Lionel Messi, angrily shoves away camera from face after conceding league to PSV
Wout Weghorst, who is famous for his spat with Lionel Messi in the 2022 World Cup where he was called a fool by the Argentinian after a Netherlands vs Argentina match, grabbed headlines once again when shoved the camera away from himself in a burst of anger in a recent match for Ajax against FC Twente. Weghorst's anger was understandable because Ajax conceded the league title to PSV after a late-season meltdown which couldn't be saved by a win in the final round. PSV retained the title by beating Sparta Rotterdam 3-1, with United States midfielder Malik Tillman scoring the third goal to settle any nerves with Ajax playing — and winning — its match taking place at the same time. Ajax won 2-0 at home to FC Twente but that wasn't enough for the Amsterdam club, which finished a point behind PSV despite holding a nine-point lead with five games remaining. Then Ajax went on a four-match winless run that included two losses and two draws – an epic collapse that allowed PSV to make up the deficit in dramatic fashion and, ultimately, clinch a 26th Eredivisie title. Weghorst die een camera slaat, deze gast is compleet geschift🤣 — F.R🇳🇬 (@Feijenoordert) May 18, 2025 'He sees that I'm in tears and comes to me,' Weghorst said in De Telegraaf. 'That's emotion.' Last Sunday, PSV's title chances looked all but over when the defending champions trailed by two goals after 10 minutes at third-placed Feyenoord. The score was 2-2 before Noa Lang's goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time sealed a 3-2 win. Ajax then slumped to a 3-0 loss at home to mid-table NEC Nijmegen, setting up more late drama Wednesday — when Ajax conceded a goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time at Groningen to draw 2-2. PSV, led by former Ajax coach Peter Bosz, was suddenly in first place — for the first time since February — by a point and that's how it stayed. PSV won its last seven games to capitalize on Ajax's wobble in its first season under 36-year-old coach Francesco Farioli, who was looking to lead the team to a record-extending 37th Eredivisie crown.

Trouble for Ajax: Wout Weghorst out for six weeks
Ajax will be without Wout Weghorst for the next six weeks, the club have explained following their 2-0 away win against Fortuna Sittard on Sunday. Appearing from the bench, he came on for Brian Brobbey after an hour, earned a penalty, scored on the rebound after a miss by Steven Berghuis and provided the assist for Christian Rasmussen's strike. However, head coach Francesco Farioli announced after the game that his striker had been injured and was in 'a lot of pain'. Following hospital examination, it was reported that Weghorst had broken his big toe on his right foot. Weghorst is expected to be out for six weeks. That arrives as a major blow to Ajax, who let Chuba Akpom leave for LOSC Lille last week. Farioli now has just one fully-fledged striker at his disposal in Brian Brobbey and the Italian boss may have to call up Julian Rijkhoff (20) or Don-Angelo Konadu (18) from Jong Ajax. Another sucker punch arrives with Ajax's busy forthcoming schedule. In the coming weeks, the Amsterdammers face Union Saint-Gilloise, Heracles Almelo, Union again, Go Ahead Eagles, Almere City, PEC Zwolle and AZ Alkmaar. Weghorst sustained an injury to his right foot in the final minutes of the away match against Fortuna Sittard. A hospital examination on Monday confirmed that he has broken his big toe. He is expected to be sidelined for the coming six well soon, Wout! ❤️ — AFC Ajax (@AFCAjax) February 10, 2025 GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield
