Real Madrid vs Ajax Match Preview, Team News, Lineups
Real Madrid will be looking to seal their spot in the quarterfinals of the Champions League when they host Dutch giants Ajax in the round-of-16 2nd leg at Santiago Bernabéu, in Madrid, Spain, on Tuesday night (IST).
What competition it is? Champions League, round-of-16, 2nd Leg
Teams: Real Madrid and Ajax
Kick Off: Wednesday 06 March
Match Timing: 01:30 AM (IST)
Where the game is played? Santiago Bernabeu (81,044)
TV Info: Ten Sports Network has the rights to stream UEFA Champions League matches in India.
Two consecutive losses in El Clasico and the pressure is back on Santiago Solari. A 0-3 loss at home in the Copa del Rey 2nd leg was followed by a close 0-1 loss in La Liga which has effectively ended Madrid’s chances of league glory.
For weeks, it seemed as if he is starting to kill all the rumours doubting about his ability to take the club forward. Not only Los Blancos were in the semi-final of Copa del Rey, moving to the cusp of final after securing a 1-1 away draw in the 1st leg, but they also moved within six points of leaders Barcelona in La Liga after a good run-in in the month of February.
But as things stand, Solari’s men are 3rd in La Liga, a huge 12 points adrift of the Catalan giants. So Champions League is the most realistic chance for Madrid to land a trophy this season.

Second half goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio ensured a 2-1 win in the Nederlands. With the advantage of home and the aggregate scoreline, Madrid should qualify for the quarterfinals.
Ajax meanwhile displayed flashes of brilliance at times during the first leg at Johan Cruijff ArenA. They are a young squad but showed maturity against a side which won the last 3 Champions League. And it would have been a deserving result had Karim Benzema not scored the 2nd goal late on.
Since losing to Madrid, the Lancers are on 3 games winning streak beating NAC Breda, ADO Den Haag and Feyenoord in the Dutch Eredivisie. They are very much in contention for the league title.

Indeed, the loss in the first leg was Ajax’s first in the Champions Legaue this season. They finished 2nd in the group stage behind Bayern Munich which shows that Erik ten Hag’s side is capable of achieving results against big teams.
