Real Madrid crash out of Champions League

The bigger they come they harder they fall. After 1011 days as Champions League holders the 13-times winners Real Madrid came crashing down out of the competition losing 4-1 on the night to Ajax and 5-3 on aggregate.

It was a humiliation. Gareth Bale watched it unfold from the bench and was helpless to change it when he came on as a first-half substitute. Thibaut Courtois was as culpable as anyone letting in the fourth from a direct free-kick.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving club.

Bravo Ajax

He intentionally had himself carded in the first leg so that he could serve his suspension in the second leg, thinking it was in the bag anyway. He made the mistake of admitting it on TV, and the ban was extended to 2 matches.

Real were awful today, and could have really used the bastard. Could have been 2-8 today, and even the VAR couldn't save Real.

In one week, Real crashed out of the cup, the league, and now the champions league through successive home losses. Fantastic!
