Throwback Matchday – Ajax’s return to glory

Tuesday night, March 5th, 2019. Ajax’s eleven walked out into the bright white Bernabeu floodlights. A few weeks prior, the iconic dutch side had played their first match in the Champions League knockouts in 13 years, where they fell 2-1 at home to the current title holders, serial european winners Real Madrid. However, this match was different and the cool, confident spaniards found themselves conceding 4 goals from a scintillating side studded with young stars.

Liverpool – Locked Out

The seemingly unstopable Champions of Europe returned to the stadium where they had won their crown, this time to face off against an Atletico Madrid which appeared to be struggling to find it’s way. Fourth in the league and knocked out of the Copa del Rey by a third tier team, the demoralised Colchoneros were about to play a huge match, once again, as the underdogs. Despite this, once the 90 minutes were up, the spanish side had shown their stubborn face in an unexpected 1-0 victory.
