Ajax keeper Onana in Real Madrid dig: They thought they were through

Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana had a pop at Real Madrid players after this week's Champions League shock.

Ajax dumped Real out of the competition for the first time since 2015, thrashing the title holders 4-1 in Madrid.

Onana told RAC1: "We know we have written history.

"Real was full of confidence after the 1-2 victory with us. They thought they were already there.

"We knew that if we passed the ball well, we could hurt Real. Only at 1 to 4 I knew that it was done. It was the most beautiful day since I joined Ajax. Real do not lose every day and certainly not 1-4 in the Santiago Bernabéu."
