    FT: Real Madrid 1-4 Ajax! And that's that! Ajax claim both an emphatic and historic victory over Real Madrid who put out a woeful performance. After four years of Champions League domination, Real Madrid have crashed out to a gutsy Ajax side! As Real Madrid back their bags and exit the Champions League, Solari may well start doing the same...

    Substitution Madrid - Valverde makes a last ditch effort to save some of Madrid's dignity by bringing Valverde on for Casemiro. It's too late and Madrid can kiss goodbye to their hopes of a reigning title.
  • 87'
    HUGE CHANCE AJAX! Ajax's forward have absolutely ridiculed Madrid's defence as Tadic skies his effort on an open goal!
  • 83'
    Real Madrid look as if they're in on goal with Modric and Benzema. The Croatian taps the ball into Benzema's path who slips as he's about to pull the trigger. Sums up Madrid's night really...
  • 76'
    Double substitution for Ajax as Schone comes off immediately after his goal. He is followed by Neres as De Wit and Dolberg replace them.

de Real Madrid en el 70'
  • 70'
    GOOOOAAAAAALLL MADRID!!! Have I spoken too soon? Madrid have one back with Asensio who slots his effort past Onana!!! Could this be the start of a ground-breaking come-back?!
  • 66'
    GOOOOOAAAAALLLL AJAX!!! After three minutes of deliberation, the referee awards the goal and Tadic nets Ajax's third!!! Real Madrid are in serious trouble now and it looks as though another Champions League title is far out of reach...
  • 62'
    Tadic may have scored the third for the visitors but the referee checks VAR for an earlier decision on whether the ball left the field of play in the build up to the goal...
  • 60'
    Ajax starting to find their feet again as Mazraoui's shot ends up in the side netting. Real Madrid have had the majority of possession so far in this second-half but have failed to make it count.
  • 57'
    Madrid will have to find a way through at some point otherwise they will surrender their Champions League title! One that they've held for four years running!
  • 54'
    Blind clears Kroos' corner but in the aftermath, Benzema finds himself with an opportunity for a header. However, he can't generate any power and it's an easy catch for Onana.
  • 53'
    Benzema overcooks his pass to Gareth Bale who salvages the move by winning a corner for Madrid.
  • 52'
    Ajax this time with the forward momentum but Ziyech's shot is an easy stop for Courtois.
  • 50'
    Benzema finds himself with a rebound from a previous attempt and tries to turn and half-volley. It flies over the crossbar but it's not far away!
  • 49'
    Asensio lines up for the shot but it flies just wide. A good start for Madrid!
  • 45'
    Back underway at the Bernabeu! Will Madrid be able to continue their blistering Champions League record or will Ajax continue to cause upset away from home...
  • 45'
    HT: Real Madrid 0-2 Ajax (2-3 on agg). Ajax capitalised in style after a sluggish start from Real Madrid. Neres and Viyech both beat Courtois to take the visitors 2-0 ahead in tonight's second-leg. Injuries to Lucas Vasquez and Vinicius saw Bale and Asensio come on, proving to be a blessing in disguise as they were able to restore some form for Madrid.
  • 45'
    Two minutes of added time indicated as Madrid are starting to click into gear now.
  • 43'

  • 42'
    Madrid are starting to build chances for themselves now. Bale sets up Asensio whose shot is crucially blocked by De Ligt.
  • 37'
    Madrid manage to build a threatening attack as Bale's cross causes all sorts of trouble in the box. Onana saves the first attempt but Benzema nods it back into the action area. Ajax clear and breathe a sigh of relief...
  • 37'
    Solari scratches his head and will be wondering how he can rally his team back into this match.
  • 35'
    After a flurry of action in the box, Mazraoui releases a shot for Ajax which has Courtois at full stretch!
  • 34'
    Substitution Real Madrid - Solari has had to make his second substitution as Vinicius cannot carry on and is replaced by Asensio.

    Substitution Real Madrid - Lucas Vasquez makes his way off the field and looks devastated. Gareth Bale replaces him and Madrid will hope the Welshman can change the dynamic for the home side as it certainly hasn't been working so far.
  • 25'
    Mazraoui receives the first yellow card of the match as he fouls Vinicius on the left-flank.
  • 24'
    Vinicius advances down the left for Madrid and lays it off to Benzema. His shot is decent but Onana is there with the block. A corner follows and Varane commits a foul.
  • 23'
    Here they come again! Ajax have really come out firing on all cylinders as a quick counter-attack sees Neres in front of goal again. He tries to chip the keeper but his effort flies just wide. Only just though...
  • 21'
    An absolutely dire start for Solari's men as they find themselves 2-0 behind tonight (2-3 on agg). Ajax have been faultless while the same definitely can't be said for Madrid.

  • 18'
    GOOOOAAAAALLLL AJAX!!! Meanwhile, Ajax are really making Madrid pay for their errors as Neres has his second for the visiting side! He did really well to stay on his feet under pressure and coolly flick it past Courtois!
  • 18'
    Lucas tries one on the volley for Madrid in the aftermath of a corner but it's straight down the keeper's throat.
  • 16'
    Kroos tries to bring Madrid back in it with a shot from 20-yards out but he shoots fairly far wide of the goal.
  • 13'
    Neres dispossess Carvajal on Real's goal-line! Carvajal tries to make amends by putting in a questionable tackle... Ajax might have felt they deserved a free-kick there.
  • 11'
    It's now Madrid who are under pressure as their midfield error allowed Tadic to tee up Ziyech for the opening goal!
Goal
