Since this summer, Hakim Ziyech has been wearing the Chelsea colors.
But before evolving under the orders of Frank Lampard, the Moroccan playmaker defended the Ajax Amsterdam jersey.
A year ago, the attacking midfielder had also caused problems for the Blues by scoring a superb goal against his future teammates.
It was during the group stage of the Champions League, at Stamford Bridge, during a completely crazy match (4-4).

Incredible inspiration
In the 35th minute of play, with the Dutch club leading 1-2 after a self-defeating goal by Tammy Abraham and an achievement by Quincy Promes, against a reduction in Jorginho's score, Hakim Ziyech took charge of a blow -franc very eccentric on the right side.
Everyone expects him to be looking to find a teammate in the penalty area.
But to everyone's surprise, the Moroccan chose to take his chance.
His shot flies off and hits Kepa's right post ... before bouncing off the Spanish goalkeeper and finishing his race at the back of the net.
Sublime inspiration!
Ziyech's superb free kick
A "remount" of the Blues
His teammates come to congratulate him;
Hakim Ziyech, him, does not exult.
He celebrates in his own way.
Despite this goal, Ajax Amsterdam will not win the meeting.
Led 1-4 after a fourth goal scored by Donny van de Beek after the break, the Blues will be able to come back to the score thanks to goals from César Azpilicueta, Jorginho again, and Reece James.
