Why Madrid suffered their darkest night in Champions League history vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Real Madrid’s Spanish defender Sergio Ramos reacts as he is shown a red card by Spanish referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez during the Spanish League football match between Real Madrid and Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid on February 17, 2019. Two defeats — at home in the past week — to archrival Barcelona, the yin to their yang, had meant Real Madrid were out of the Spanish Cup and, barring divine intervention, out of the race for the Spanish title.
Instead the bottom fell out. The game kicked off and within 20 minutes Ajax were 2-0 up. By the 62nd minute, Real Madrid trailed by three goals, meaning they would have to score three to advance. When they pulled one back to narrow the deficit, Ajax immediately hit back with an improbable looping free kick to make it 4-1. Which is how it ended, though by that point much of Europe’s largest stadium had emptied, expelling sullen, white-clad Madridistas into the night.
That sort of attitude — from your longtime club captain no less — percolates throughout a side. But it’s only a small part of the picture.
