Real Madrid head coach Santiago Solari believes that the Madrid side can win a fourth consecutive Champions League, saying “nothing is impossible” for the European giants.

The Champions League holders head to Amsterdam in fine form and  Solari talked about the tie against Ajax in understandably confident mood.

Results have drastically improved during the last month along with performances across the squad, with Saturday’s derby win over Atletico Madrid evidence of the recent transformation.

“Football is an almighty provider of hopes and dreams, and playing in the top division is the dream you have when you are a little kid,” said Solari, speaking at a UEFA press conference.

“Sometimes dreams do not come true and hopes are crushed, and football makes you have to start over and pick yourself back up but it also gives you the chance, with every subsequent match, to dream again,” he stated.

Madrid have been dominant in Europe in recent years, winning the continent’s top club competition in three straight seasons.

Despite being less convincing so far this campaign, Solari feels Madrid can make it four in a row in 2019.

“A fourth consecutive Champions League? Nothing is impossible for Real Madrid,” said a confident Solari.

Solari has evidently made youth first choice since being tasked with rejuvenating his team in November after Julen Lopetegui was dismissed.

A case in point is Vinicius Junior who was  signed last summer for 45 million euros and was supposed to spend his debut season settling in with the reserve side but has since become a regular starter under Solari.

Solari knows the challenge awaiting Madrid against the Dutch giants, who last won the competition in 1995.

“Ajax are very well known for their work in the youth system, for their commitment to young talent and their offensive football,” he said.

“That’s the way they still work, with a team that has already shown that it was competitive last year and that it remains competitive this year.
