Real Madrid did well in the group stages as they topped the group and will have their eyes set on a record fourth consecutive UEFA Champions League title. They know they have to maintain their standards and play quality football.

Los Blancos have now got Ajax to focus upon as they try to reach the quarter-finals. They know Ajax are a tough side and the A game is very much needed for progression.

Real Madrid next play Girona at home in La Liga.

On the other hand, Ajax too did extremely well in the group stages as they made it till here without loosing a game. But know the task in hand as giants Real Madrid awaits.

Ajax know their style of play and just need to execute to the best of their abilities with needing luck to be on their side as well.

Real Madrid have a good record against Ajax and they will look to continue the good work.
