MADRID - After their domestic season was left in tatters by back-to-back defeats to Barcelona, Real Madrid have been left to focus yet again on winning the Champions League as the only way to salvage a turbulent campaign.
Real hold a 2-1 lead in the tie after riding their luck in Amsterdam, meaning a draw or even a 1-0 defeat would see them into the quarter-finals, but their inability to put the ball in the net is becoming a concern. Madrid were wasteful in last Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat to Barca in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg, repeatedly missing the target from inside the area.
“We will try everything so that what did not go in today, or on Wednesday, does in our next game. We will keep trying.”Yet on the team’s current form, it is difficult to see where goals against Ajax will come from, as none of the club’s players have managed to go close to filling the void left by all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Juventus in July.
