Real Madrid have been knocked out of the Champions League before the semi-finals for the first time in over eight seasons.

Dutch side, Ajax stunned 13-time European champions, Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu with a 4-1 (5-3 aggregate) victory, ending their three year reign as champions of Europe.

Madrid have won the Champions League for three seasons in a row but were shattered by Ajax in an exciting match with everything to play for.

Real Madrid came into the last 16 second leg on Tuesday with a 2-1 away advantage in Amsterdam.

Sergio Ramos  was greatly missed as he was suspended from the match due to the yellow card he acquired in the first leg.

Two Clasico defeats by Barcelona and this elimination by Ajax saw Madrid’s entire season crumble in the space of seven days.

They have nothing left to play for. They are out of the Copa del Rey, 12 points behind leaders Barcelona in La Liga and eliminated from the Champions League in the last 16 for the first time since 2006.
