Amsterdam's "Ajax" will try to create a sensation tonight - to knock out the UEFA Champions League champions from further fight for the trophy.
At the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Madrid's "Real" will clash with "Ajax". For the "White" team, these are very important matches - the Champions League this season is their only hope. "Real" has quite good chances to advance to the next stage - the first match in Amsterdam was won with a score of 2:1.
However, in this match, the main team's star, Sergio Ramos, will not be able to help his team due to disqualification and will be replaced by Nacho Fernandez.
"Sergio is a boss both on the field and in the defensive line. The fact that he won't play will harm "Real" team not only tactically but also psychologically," - the captain of the opponents highlighted Erik ten Hag, the "Ajax" coach.
"Losing Ramos is a huge loss for them. It is obvious that "Real" will not become a better team when he is not on the field," - the strategist continued.
"Ajax" controlled the ball for a long time in the first match. E. Ten Hag hopes to do the same in Madrid.
"Regardless of the opponent, we want to have control in every match and we manage to implement it almost every time," - added the Dutchman.
