It was to be expected that the tremendous football and the achievements that the Dutch team is accumulating would translate into huge interest in its players from Europe's top clubs. One of them is being closely followed by Real Madrid.
The Ajax forward, Hakim Ziyech. At 26 years old, the Moroccan footballer is having a fabulous season, and proved it at the Bernabéu in the 1-4 win over Madrid, where he was a key player alongside Tadic.
In the 43 official matches he has played this season, the versatile attacker, who can play both on the right and in midfield, has scored 20 goals and provided 16 assists.
Clubs such as Inter, Liverpool and Bayern Munich have also shown interest in his services in recent weeks.
