Valente reflected on his feelings during that match, stating, “I had a strong sense that it could be my last home game for Groningen.” He continued, “With that mindset, I stepped onto the field. It was a unique moment, despite the red card, and it’s something I still think about.”

Reactions from Ajax fans have been overwhelmingly negative. One fan expressed their disappointment, saying, “It’s sad when Groningen plays with no goals in mind and is just happy to see Ajax drop points.” Another chimed in, “How unfortunate.”
