Ajax pair Noussair Mazraoui and Hakim Ziyech were both fasting during their Champions League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Both were observing Ramadan and could not eat before sunset. That occurred in the 22nd minute of the game.
The duo both then took on fuel at the first opportunity, with Mazroui spotted guzzling down energy gel which had been handed to him from the touchline.
It appeared to do the trick for Ziyech, who went on to double his side's lead in the 35th minute.
Ajax ultimately fell short however, with Lucas Moura's last-gasp goal sending Tottenham through to the final.

People on here are talking about Ziyech like he’s some talented youngster. He’s 26. Give him the same treatment you give Lingard

Muslims don't have to fast if they are travelling. It is mentioned in the Quran. Salah did nothing wrong
point of correction they are not traveling because they are already at home

their club gave them the chance to choose, and someone of their team even advised them not to do it. there have been players who postponed ramadan OR chose to not play. that’s why I felt like praising them 💪🏼

it's a legit question lol, if they were allowed to eat after the period was over, maybe they ate too much and became slow, I fasted for various reasons in my life, and always over-ate after, I'm not mocking them.

Lack of disciplined as they are top tier atheletes participating in one of the biggest game of the entire club history. I don't care if it's their choice but they are paid to eat and drink strictly.
