Real Madrid face Ajax at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, March 5. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Another Champions League knock-out round and another very flattering win for Real Madrid, which has led to many people wondering whether they really could do it again. Madrid certainly seemed to have used up all of their reserves of good luck during that away victory over Ajax three weeks ago.
They’ve followed it up by losing twice at home to their bitterest rivals Barcelona in the space of just four days, a pair of results that brought to an end Madrid’s hopes of domestic silverware this season. Their mid-February home loss to Girona means that they’ve lost three times to Catalonian teams in the space of as many weeks.
Ajax’s undeserved 1-2 defeat in the first leg at the Johan Cruyff Arena was saddening for two reasons. In the short-term, it seems to have deprived us what could have been an enthralling second leg. And it also means that this game will probably be the very last we see of this youthful and entertaining Ajax side on a big European stage, with Frenkie de Jong Barcelona-bound in the summer and the likes of Matthijs de Ligt reportedly also set to leave.
The Champions League match between Real Madrid and Ajax will be broadcast live on TNT. Live streaming is available on B/R Live, which you can access with your cable or satellite subscriptions, either online or through the Bleacher Report app.

Madrid’s lucky win in the first leg three weeks ago seems to have settled this tie, although with Ajax likely to attack from the very start, it should still be an entertaining game.
