4 Players who have played for both Real Madrid and Ajax

#2 Wesley Sneijder

The talented Sneijder was one of the best midfielders in the world in the late 2000s and early 2010s. He was a versatile player, who could play both as a central attacking midfielder and a left winger.

Sneijder has a great left foot and is very good with his free-kicks too. He played for Ajax from 2002 to 2007 and won 1 Eredivisie title for them. He also scored 58 goals in 180 matches for them.

He joined Real Madrid in 2007 and played there alongside compatriots Arjen Robben and Rafael Van Der Vaart. Real also had players like Kaka and Raul in their team, but could not do very well in European competitions in the late 2000s.

Sneijder managed to win 1 LaLiga title with Real in the 2007-08 season. He left Real for Inter Milan in 2009, and had a very successful stint there. He scored 11 goals in 66 matches for Real, and impressed their supporters with his enviable skills.
