Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Champions League last-16 knock-out match between Ajax and Real Madrid. Erik ten Hag's side are 12 matches unbeaten in Europe this season, but domestically they have dropped eight points in four games, with Matthijs De Ligt describing their last defeat to Heracles as 'scandalous'. The 19-year-old went further, saying his Ajax side would 'get slaughtered' if they performed like that in the match with Real Madrid, who are targeting a fourth consecutive Champions League trophy. The Dutch giants are bound to up their game against one of the world's greatest teams ever, surely? Kick-off is 45 minutes away.

It is complete heart-break for Ajax who have somehow lost this highly-entertaining and dramatic game of football. They are just about still in the tie, however, they have it all to do at the Bernabeu.

CHANCE!

What an opportunity for Ajax to level! Dolberg is played through but he slips at the vital moment and scuffs the ball at Courtois.

Wonderful play from the impressive Tadic who uses great strength to hold off his man and deliver a cross for Dolberg, but the forward has a lot to do. He fails to direct his header on target.
