Dusan Tadic scores one goal and sets up two as Ajax produce a stunning performance at the Bernabeu to knock out Champions League holders Real Madrid.
This was a performance of sheer quality by a young Ajax side who arrived at the home of the European champions with no fear as they danced through to the quarter-finals.
Tadic, almost unrecognisable from his Southampton days, produced a moment of excellence to set up Neres before seemingly putting the tie out of reach with a finish that epitomised his performance. The visitors more than held their own against the holders, and could play a huge part in the final stages of this season's competition should they maintain such a devastating level of performance.Luis Suarez - once of Ajax, now of Real Madrid's main rivals Barcelona - tweeted his congratulations to his former club
When Asensio made it 4-3 on aggregate, he appeared to have dragged his side - with a reputation of churning out results in Europe - back into the tie. Real's 4-1 defeat by Ajax was their biggest ever margin of defeat in a home knockout game in European competition.
