Ajax coach Erik ten Hag believes they can hurt Champions League opponents Real Madrid.
Ten Hag believes Sergio Ramos's absence through suspension is going to be a big help for his team in the Champions League last 16 second leg on Tuesday.
"It's a huge blow for Real Madrid. Modric and Toni Kroos are the bosses in the midfield but Ramos is a boss in defence and his absence from a physical and mental point of view will affect their team," Ten Hag said Monday.
“Obviously they want to win a trophy this season and this is their last chance. Only in the Champions League can they win something and that will change their attitude on the pitch.
“Our players will be ambitious and they will fight to stay in all the competitions."
Madrid lead 2-1 after winning the first leg in Amsterdam.
