The reign of Real Madrid in Europe is over and their season could well be too after they were stunned by a 4-1 defeat at home to Ajax on Tuesday. Hakim Ziyech and David Neres put them two up at half-time and Dusan Tadic made it three before Marco Asensio gave Madrid hope. Raphael Varane might have finished it within five minutes but headed onto the crossbar from six yards and instead Ajax took control. Madrid needed three in 24 minutes and then two in 20, as Asensio swept in Sergio Reguilon´s cross to give them hope. Nacho was sent off for a clash with van de Beek and Madrid were in tatters.
