4 Players who have played for both Real Madrid and Ajax 

#4 Rafael Van Der Vaart

Rafael Van Der Vaart

Van Der Vaart is yet another Dutch footballer to have come through the youth ranks of Ajax. He joined Ajax's senior team in 2000 and played for them till 2005. He also scored 63 goals in 156 matches for them. He also won 2 Eredivisie titles with them.

Van Der Vaart is very easy on the eye because of his silken touch and astute passing. He is primarily a central attacking midfielder, who also can play on the flanks. He joined Hamburger SV from Ajax and spent a few successful seasons there

He joined Real Madrid in 2008 and spent a couple of seasons there. He played alongside his countrymen Robben and Sneijder at Real, but had difficulties in cementing a place for himself in the starting eleven and could not win any major silverware with them either. He scored 12 goals in 73 matches for Real before leaving the club in 2010.
