Ajax Dump hosts and Champions League holders out of title race

Ajax produced one of the greatest Champions League comebacks with a historic 4-1 victory at the Bernabeu that dumped holders Real Madrid out 5-3 on aggregate.

With Real leading 2-1 from the first leg, Ajax travelled to Madrid needing to score at least two goals to reach their first quarter-final in 16 years – they achieved that inside 18 minutes as Hakim Ziyech and David Neres put the visitors in control.

A sumptuous third from Dusan Tadic (62) was allowed to stand after a VAR review and, though Marco Asensio sparked hopes of a late Real rally, they were extinguished 18 minutes from time as Lasse Schone’s audacious free-kick from an impossible angle looped over Thibaut Courtois.
