Ajax must overcome the weight of recent history as they take on holders Real Madrid bidding to reach the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in 16 years. • The Dutch club have reached the round of 16 for the first time since 2005/06 but have never won at this stage of the UEFA Champions League. Furthermore, Ajax have lost their last six games to Real Madrid, conceding 20 goals while scoring only two. • In contrast, Real Madrid have continued their record of appearing in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 every year since its introduction in 2003/04 – and have not lost a tie at this juncture in nine years. • Madrid have won the last three editions of the UEFA Champions League and have won their last nine two-legged knockout ties in the competition, since defeat by Juventus in the 2014/15 semi-finals. Previous meetings • The teams have met 12 times in UEFA competition – all in the European Cup – Real Madrid winning seven and Ajax four with only one draw, 1-1 in the first encounter in Amsterdam in the 1967/68 European Cup first round first leg. Madrid won the second leg 2-1 in Spain to progress. • Ajax won the next four fixtures between the sides, in the semi-final of their victorious 1972/73 European Cup campaign (2-1 home, 1-0 away) and, as holders, in the 1995/96 UEFA Champions League group stage (1-0 home, 2- 0 away), when they went on to reach another final. In the latter campaign, Marc Overmars – now Ajax's director of player affairs – scored the only goal in Amsterdam with Edwin van der Sar (now Ajax's general director) and Danny Blind, father of Daley, playing in both games. • Madrid have dominated recent contests between the sides, beating Ajax home and away in the group stage in 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13. Their last trip to Amsterdam brought a 4-1 success in October 2012 – Madrid won by the same scoreline at the Santiago Bernabéu two months later – making it 11 goals in their last three visits to Ajax. • Daley Blind played in both the sides' 2012/13 games, Lasse Schöne coming on as a first-half substitute in Madrid's 4-1 home win. • Karim Benzema was on target in Madrid's win at Ajax in October 2012 having also found the net in a 4-0 success in Amsterdam in November 2010 and in Madrid's 3-0 home victory against Ajax the following September. Form guide Ajax • The 2005/06 tie against Internazionale is Ajax's sole previous UEFA Champions League round of 16 contest; the Dutch club drew 2-2 in the home first leg – Klaas-Jan Huntelaar opening the scoring – before a 1-0 defeat in Milan. • Ajax's last UEFA Champions League quarter-final came in 2002/03, when they were beaten 3-2 at AC Milan having drawn the home first leg 0-0. • The Dutch club are without a win in their last six UEFA Champions League knockout fixtures (D2 L4), since a 3-2 victory at Atlético Madrid in the 1996/97 quarter-final second leg that completed a 4-3 aggregate success. • A 1-1 draw in the first leg of that Atlético tie means Ajax have not won any of their last five home UEFA Champions League knockout matches (D3 L2), most recently beating Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the 1995/96 quarter-final second leg (3-0 aggregate). • Ajax's last experience of Spanish opposition came in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League group stage, when they drew 2-2 at Celta Vigo before a 3-2 home victory. • The Amsterdammers have won only two of their last 14 games against Spanish opponents (D1 L11). • Ajax's record in two-legged knockout ties against Spanish clubs is W7 L2, the most recent a 3-0 aggregate loss (0-1 home, 0-2 away) against Mallorca in the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup third round. • Ajax are unbeaten in Europe in 2018/19 – a run of 12 matches (W7 D5). They won their first five home games before a 3-3 draw against Bayern München on matchday six, finishing second behind the German club in Group E. • Ajax are the sole side still involved who came through qualifying. The other 15 participants in the round of 16 all entered the competition at the group stage. Real Madrid • This is Real Madrid's 23rd UEFA Champions League campaign – and the 23rd in which they have reached the knockout phase. • Madrid are holders and 13-time champions. Semi-finalists or better in each of the last eight seasons, this is their 49th European Cup campaign – more than any other side.

• Madrid are looking to reach the quarter-finals for the ninth successive year. Their round of 16 record is W9 L6; they lost at this stage for six years in a row between 2005 and 2010 but have won their last eight ties. • In 2017/18, Madrid beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at home and 2-1 away, Marcelo scoring in the first leg and Casemiro in the second. • This is the Merengues' first knockout tie against Dutch opponents since a 2-0 aggregate win (1-0 away, 1-0 home) against Vitesse in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup third round. That made Madrid's record in two-legged contests with Eredivisie clubs W6 L3; their last aggregate defeat came on away goals against PSV Eindhoven in the 1987/88 European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-final (1-1 home, 0-0 away). • Madrid have won on five of their last six visits to the Netherlands, the 1995 defeat at Ajax their sole loss in their last eight trips (W5 D2). • This season, Madrid finished top of Group G with 12 points despite losing both games against bottom side CSKA Moskva – including a 3-0 reverse at the Bernabéu on matchday six that was the club's heaviest home European defeat. • Madrid have still lost only six of their last 39 European matches, home and away, winning 26. • Aside from the 1-0 loss at CSKA on matchday two, Madrid won 5-0 at Viktoria Plzeň and 2-0 at Roma in the group stage, and have won 13 of their last 21 European away matches, losing just four. Links and trivia • This is one of only two ties in the round of 16 not featuring a reigning domestic champion, the other being Tottenham-Dortmund. • Klaas-Jan Huntelaar joined Madrid from Ajax in January 2009, scoring eight goals in 20 appearances before leaving six months later. The Dutch striker faced the Merengues four times with Schalke, scoring three goals including two at the Bernabéu in the German side's 4-3 victory in the 2014/15 UEFA Champions League round of 16 – a tie his club lost 5-4 on aggregate. • Nicolás Tagliafico spent 2012/13 on loan in Spain with second division side Real Murcia. • André Onana came through the Barcelona academy but never made a first-team appearance before joining Ajax in 2015. Latest news Ajax • UEFA Champions League squad changes In: Lisandro Magallán, Lassina Traoré, Bruno Varela Out: Dennis Johnsen, Azor Matusiwa, Luis Orejuela, Kaj Sierhuis, Maximilian Wöber • Ajax made a slow start to 2019 in the Eredivisie, kicking off the year with a 4-4 draw at home to Heerenveen before a 6-2 loss at Feyenoord – their biggest league reverse since a 4-0 defeat by PSV Eindhoven on 22 September 2013. • In those two matches, Ajax conceded ten goals – two more than in the 17 league games before that. It also marked only the second time in Eredivisie history – and the first since 1959 – that Ajax had shipped four goals in successive matches. • Four days after drawing with Bayern on matchday six, Ajax beat De Graafschap 8-0 – their biggest victory since a 9- 0 defeat of Sparta Rotterdam on 18 March 2001. • On 24 January Ajax qualified for the Dutch Cup semi-finals with a 3-1 home win against Heerenveen. They will travel to Feyenoord in the last four on 27 February. • Ajax were 6-0 winners against VVV-Venlo on 2 February – the fourth time they had scored six or more goals in a games this season. • Ajax had scored in 23 successive matches, since a 3-0 defeat at PSV on 23 September, before losing 1-0 at Heracles on Saturday. • Dušan Tadić, who scored the third goal against VVV, has 11 in his last 12 matches and six in seven in the Eredivisie. • Summer signing Hassane Bandé has not played since suffering a calf injury in a friendly against Anderlecht in early July. Joël Veltman has not played since suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury on 19 April, although he was on the bench on Saturday.

Out: Kiko Casilla • Thibaut Courtois made his 50th appearance in UEFA club competition on matchday six. • Madrid's record in all competitions since the end of the group stage is W11 D2 L2. They were 3-1 victors away to local rivals Atlético on Saturday. • The Merengues have lost only one of their last nine away games in all competitions (W6 D2), a 1-0 Copa del Rey defeat at Leganés on 16 January. • Madrid drew 1-1 at Barcelona in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on 6 February; the Bernabéu return is scheduled for 27 February. • Gareth Bale came off the bench to score Madrid's final goal at the weekend, his 100th strike for the club. • Sergio Ramos now has 11 goals in all competitions this season, his most successful ever, surpassing his 2016/17 total. He scored a penalty at Atlético on Saturday. • Ramos has made 599 appearances for Madrid. • Karim Benzema has scored six goals in his last six Madrid appearances. • The club lifted their third consecutive FIFA Club World Cup in December, defeating Kashima Antlers 3-1 in the semi- final before beating Al Ain 4-1 in the final. • Bale's hat-trick against Kashima Antlers means he is now the joint highest scorer in FIFA Club World Cup history with six goals. • Marcos Llorente came off after 61 minutes against Barcelona on 6 February with an adductor muscle problem; Jesús Vallejo, who has a hamstring injury, has not played since matchday six. • Bale was out between 3 and 27 January with a calf issue, marking his return against Espanyol with a goal as a substitute. Having not scored in the Liga between 1 September and 9 December, the Welshman now has three goals in his last five Liga appearances. • Luka Modrić won the Ballon d'Or on 3 December, the first Croatian to collect the prize and the first winner other than Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi since 2007. • Modric was voted UEFA Men's Player of the Year for 2017/18 on 30 August. The Croatian also collected the award for UEFA Champions League Midfielder of the Season, with club-mates Keylor Navas and Sergio Ramos picking up the prizes for Goalkeeper and Defender respectively. Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will be introduced into the UEFA Champions League from this round. The VAR will be used in order to support the referee when making decisions concerning four match-changing situations: 1. Goals 2. Incidents in the penalty area 3. Red cards 4. Mistaken identity The VAR will inform the referee when there is evidence of a clear and obvious mistake in one of these match- changing situations. The referee can then use the review area next to the pitch to take a final decision. The VAR is also able to take into account any infringement that could have taken place in the immediate build-up to the incident (the attacking phase of play). Decisions like offside or whether a foul was committed inside or outside the penalty area will be recommended to the referee directly by the VAR and no on-field review necessarily takes place in such cases. The on-field review process will be communicated within the stadium using either the stadium screens or the public announcement system. Full story on UEFA.com Interview with UEFA's Chief Refereeing Officer Roberto Rosetti More information on the introduction of VAR, including videos and images can be found here.

12 AFC Ajax - Real Madrid CF Wednesday 13 February 2019 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Johan Cruijff ArenA, Amsterdam Head coach Erik ten Hag Date of birth: 2 February 1970 Nationality: Dutch Playing career: Twente (three times), De Graafschap, RKC Waalwijk, Utrecht Coaching career: Twente (youth, assistant), PSV Eindhoven (assistant), Go Ahead Eagles, Bayern München II, Utrecht, Ajax • Born in Haaksbergen in the east Netherlands close to Enschede, Ten Hag's early days were spent with local club Bon Boys before a move to the youth department of Twente, where he made his professional debut aged 19 in December 1989. • A defensive midfielder and defender, he then spent two seasons with De Graafschap, winning promotion to Eredivisie in his first, before returning to Twente for two years. Ten Hag moved on to single-season stays at both RKC Waalwijk and Utrecht, and then returned to Twente again in 1996, this time for good. • Reached the last 16 of the 1997/98 UEFA Cup, losing to Auxerre, and in 2001 he won his only silverware with the club, Fred Rutten's team beating PSV Eindhoven on penalties in the Dutch Cup final with Ten Hag as captain. • After ending his playing career in 2002 he became head of Twente's youth department, also working as assistant coach for several years, alongside Rutten from 2006/07. Followed the head coach to PSV in 2009, serving as his assistant for three seasons. • Took his first post as head coach at Go Ahead Eagles, winning promotion to the Dutch top flight in his 2012/13 debut season, before moving on to Bayern München's second team, winning the Regionalliga title in 2014 and working with Josep Guardiola. Took over at Utrecht in summer 2015, winning the Rinus Michels award as the Netherlands' coach of the year 12 months later. Succeeded Marcel Keizer at Ajax in December 2017, leading the club to second place in the Eredivisie at the end of that campaign and into the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in four years. Santiago Solari Date of birth: 7 October 1976 Nationality: Argentinian Playing career: River Plate, Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid, Internazionale, San Lorenzo, Atlante, Peñarol Coaching career: Real Madrid (youth teams), Real Madrid Castilla, Real Madrid • A silky wide midfielder, Solari moved to Europe in January 1999, signing for Atlético after three seasons in River Plate's first team. His stay at the Rojiblancos lasted only 18 months, relegation prompting a switch across the city to Real Madrid in summer 2000. • Five years at the Santiago Bernabéu brought Liga titles in 2001 and 2003 either side of European glory in 2001/02. Solari played 90 minutes in the UEFA Champions League final defeat of Bayer Leverkusen in Glasgow, setting Roberto Carlos away for the cross that led to Zinédine Zidane's memorable volleyed winner; the Argentinian was a late substitute (for Zidane) in Madrid's victories in the UEFA Super Cup and European-South American Cup later that year. • Joined Inter in 2005, winning three successive Serie A titles and the Coppa Italia in his first season, before bringing down the curtain on his playing days in 2011 after spells in Argentina, Mexico and Uruguay. • Won 11 caps for Argentina in a five-year international career, but did not feature in a major tournament. • After a career in the media he returned to Real Madrid in 2013, initially as a youth team coach before being promoted to Castilla manager in 2016 when Zidane took over as head coach. Stepped up to the first team following Julen Lopetegui's departure on 29 October 2018.

UEFA Champions League: Did you know? Overall records • In 2012/13, Chelsea became the first defending champions to fail to get through a group stage since the UEFA Champions League began. (This record, like the others, includes the seasons between 1999/2000 and 2002/03 that featured a second group stage). In 1992/93, Barcelona were the reigning European Champion Clubs' Cup holders and lost 4-3 on aggregate in the second round to CSKA Moskva. • In 2016/17 Real Madrid became the first team to successfully defend the UEFA Champions League trophy, with AC Milan (1989, 1990) the previous club to win consecutive European Cups. Milan (1994, 1995), Ajax (1995, 1996), Juventus (1996, 1997) and Manchester United (2008, 2009) have all returned to the UEFA Champions League final as holders only to lose. • Real Madrid then made it three wins in a row in 2017/18, becoming the fourth club to win three or more successive titles in European Cup history, and the first to do it twice. • Only two teams have ever won the UEFA Champions League on home soil: Borussia Dortmund (1997, final in Munich) and Juventus (1996, final in Rome), while Manchester United lost the 2011 final in London and 12 months later Bayern were beaten in the showpiece in their own stadium, the Fußball Arena München. Group stage • Barcelona have finished as group winners on 20 occasions, four more than Real Madrid and five more than Bayern München and Manchester United. • Bayern München (2 April 2013 to 27 November 2013) and Real Madrid (23 April 2014 to 18 February 2015) jointly hold the record for successive wins in the UEFA Champions League proper with ten. Bayern surpassed the previous mark of nine, set by Barcelona between 18 September 2002 and 18 February 2003. • Six teams have recorded six successive victories in a UEFA Champions League group stage: Milan (1992/93), Paris Saint-Germain (1994/95), Spartak Moskva (1995/96), Barcelona (2002/03, first group stage) and Real Madrid (2011/12 and 2014/15). • Twenty-one teams have gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without picking up a single point, most recently AEK Athens in 2018/19. • In 2017/18, Paris Saint-Germain set a new group stage record by scoring 25 goals, with Liverpool (23) also eclipsing the old mark of 21 set by Borussia Dortmund in 2016/17. Manchester United (1998/99), Barcelona (2011/12, 2016/17) and Real Madrid (2013/14) all managed 20. • Only Deportivo La Coruña (2004/05), Maccabi Haifa (2009/10) and Dinamo Zagreb (2016/17) have failed to score in a group stage. • BATE Borisov conceded 24 goals in 2014/15, a new group stage record which was matched by Legia Warszawa in 2016/17. The previous mark, 22, was held by Dinamo Zagreb (2011/12) and Nordsjælland (2012/13); Malmö shipped 21 in 2015/16. • No team has ever gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without conceding a goal. Milan (1992/93), Ajax (1995/96), Juventus (1996/97 and 2004/05), Chelsea (2005/06), Liverpool (2005/06), Villarreal (2005/06), Manchester United (2010/11), Monaco (2014/15), Paris Saint-Germain (2015/16) and Barcelona (2017/18) all let in just one. • Matchday six of the 2013/14 marked FCSB's 23rd successive game in the competition without a victory, surpassing the previous record of 22 set by Spartak Moskva between December 2000 and November 2006. • Anderlecht hold the unwanted record for successive defeats in the competition, group stage to final, having lost 12 in a row between December 2003 and November 2005. Dinamo Zagreb are next with 11 consecutive losses on two occasions, from September 2011 to November 2012 and ongoing since September 2015. • The lowest total for a team qualifying from the group stage is six points: Zenit in 2013/14 and Roma in 2015/16. Since three points for a win was introduced in 1995/96, eight teams have made it through with seven points: Legia Warszawa (1995/96), Dynamo Kyiv (1999/2000), Liverpool (2001/02), Lokomotiv Moskva and eventual finalists Juventus (both 2002/03), Rangers and Werder Bremen (2005/06) and Basel (2014/15). • Napoli failed to qualify from their group with 12 points in 2013/14, the highest total of any team not to reach the next stage when the top two in each section progressed. Dynamo Kyiv (1999/2000), Borussia Dortmund (2002/03 – both second group stage), PSV Eindhoven (2003/04), Olympiacos and Dynamo Kyiv (both 2004/05), Werder Bremen (2006/07), Manchester City (2011/12), Chelsea and Cluj (both 2012/13), Benfica (2013/14) and Porto (2015/16) all
24 AFC Ajax - Real Madrid CF Wednesday 13 February 2019 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Johan Cruijff ArenA, Amsterdam missed out with ten points. Goalscoring records • Lionel Messi became the first player to score five goals in a match in Barcelona's 7-1 win against Bayer Leverkusen on 7 March 2012, a feat matched by Shakhtar Donetsk's Luiz Adriano at BATE Borisov on 21 October 2014. Eleven more players, also including Messi, have scored four times in a game, most recently Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid on matchday six in 2015/16. • Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record for a UEFA Champions League group stage with 11 goals in 2015/16, eclipsing his own mark of nine in 2013/14, which Luiz Adriano matched in 2014/15 and Ronaldo himself equalled in 2017/18. Lionel Messi got ten goals in 2016/17; Zlatan Ibrahimović (2013/14), Ruud van Nistelrooy (2004/05), Filippo Inzaghi, Hernán Crespo (both 2002/03) and Robert Lewandowski (2018/19) managed eight. • Messi's hat-trick against PSV Eindhoven on matchday one of the 2018/19 competition was his eighth in the competition, one more than Ronaldo. Oldest and youngest players • Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta is the oldest player to compete in the UEFA Champions League having featured against Real Madrid on matchday six in 2007/08 aged 43 years and 252 days. Alessandro Costacurta is the oldest outfield player; the Milan defender was 40 years and 211 days when he played against AEK Athens in 2006/07. • Francesco Totti is the oldest player to score in the competition, aged 38 years and 59 days, in Roma's 1-1 draw at CSKA Moskva on 25 November 2014. Ryan Giggs (37 years 290 days) was the previous record holder. • Celestine Babayaro is the youngest player to have appeared; he was 16 years and 87 days when he started for Anderlecht against Steaua Bucureşti on 23 November 1994. He was sent off in the 37th minute. • Peter Ofori-Quaye is the youngest player to have scored in the UEFA Champions League, aged 17 years and 195 days. He found the net in Olympiacos's 5-1 defeat at Rosenborg on 1 October 1997.
