Real Madrid v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Final
Real Madrid v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Final

#7 Ajax vs Real Madrid

Ad

Los Blancos are the undisputed kings on the Champions League! Real have won the last 3 editions of the tournament in succession and have looked at ease in each and every one of those campaigns. However their domestic form might be, Europe's prime club competition gets the best of the 13-time champions.

Ad

Santiago Solari's side have been drawn against Ajax in the round of 16 and it might take some doing from the Dutch side to go past the defending champions. Real Madrid boasts one of the best squads in Europe and despite losing the services of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Spanish giants have a formidable squad capable of hurting any opposition.

With that said, Los Blancos come to the round of 16 on the back of a shock 0-3 defeat at the hands of CSKA Moscow but apart from that, the defending champs have been impressive, winning the Group G and now face Group E Runners-up, Ajax.

Prediction: Real Madrid to reach the quarterfinals
