Real Madrid eliminated from Champions League after humiliating defeat by Ajax
Tehran (KNA) - For the first time since May 2015 -- a run stretching 46 months -- Real Madrid is out of the Champions League.
Not since the semifinal against Juventus four seasons ago has Real tasted the bitterness of elimination from Europe's premier club competition. This time, on an enthralling evening in the Spanish capital, it was Ajax which put Real to the sword, scoring four stunning goals -- the third awarded after an agonizing four-minute wait for VAR -- to stun the reigning champion 4-1 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate.
