Real Madrid’s Champions League reign is over. Ajax players celebrate after advancing in the Champions League with a victory on aggregate against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid on Tuesday. “We were not going to win the Champions League forever,” said Real Madrid defender Nacho Fernandez, who was sent off in the final minutes of the game. Out of the Copa del Rey and 12 points behind Barcelona in the Spanish league, the Champions League was Real Madrid’s only realistic chance of winning anything this season. The season continues and we have to keep playing.” Madrid hadn’t lost a Champions League knockout tie since the 2015 semifinal against Juventus.
