Amsterdam's Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt rejoiced in the impressive victory in the Champions League quarter-finals, when in the second leg match the Dutch team sensationally defeated Madrid's Real 4:1 and advanced to the next stage.
"Winning here is unbelievable. Real is not used to giving up the initiative, and we wanted to play attacking football, as we had agreed.
We showed that we can do something.
In Amsterdam, we lacked more goals, and today we fought as a team and maybe showed our best game. Otherwise, we wouldn't have won here.
After all, Real defends the title. We had already made life difficult for Munich's Bayern, and now we eliminated the Spaniards. I think we are not done yet."
