Ajax surprised the world by declassifying Real Madrid in Bernabéu, says Gareth Bale. The Welsh man did not expect Erik ten Hag’s team to be so good.
The story is known: Ajax sensationally eliminated Real Madrid by winning 1-4 in Madrid. The first game was lost with 1-2. “When we played against them, we didn’t really realize they would be that good,” Bale told BT Sport.
“They played very well and organized. Everyone knew what to do and what their role was in the team. In the first game I thought we were lucky with the victory, but in the second game they did very well and surprised they all over the world. We couldn’t do anything about it. Ajax had a very good team and also a lot of bad luck that they didn’t make it to the final. “
“In the first leg I thought we were lucky to get the win. In the second leg they put on a real good show and shocked the world.”
