Dutch Eredivisie Champions Ajax decided to honour their fans in quite a remarkable way as the club melted its trophy to give back to fans in the form of tiny stars.

The trophy was molten to 42000 silver stars which the club announced would be given to season ticket holders.

Ajax, like many other clubs in Europe, have had to play a large chunk of their campaign in empty stadiums because of the COVID-19 threat.

And what better way to show the fans that they still matter than to share with them the trophy?
