Real Madrid entered the game as favorites after a 2-1 victory over the Dutch team in Amsterdam and needed a draw or a 1-0 loss to win direst qualification to the quarter finals.

“It's a historic victory of incredible importance; it's almost unthinkable, almost nobody believed it could happen,” Ten Hag said after the game.

The Dutch team victory happened thanks to four goals from Hakim Ziyech, David Neres, Dusan Tadic and Lasse Schone while Marco Asencio scored Madrid’s only goal.

Ten Hag added "We performed really well in transition and defended incredibly; all the boys have been fantastic and I'm very happy for Ajax and Dutch football."
