#3. Ajax should be a handful for any opposition in the quarterfinals:

It would be interesting to find out Ajax’s opponent in the quarters, but they should prove to be a handful for any club in the world. They did not have much trouble in qualifying from a group comprising of the likes of Bayern Munich and Benfica and destroyed Real Madrid’s defense in their own backyard to qualify for the last 8.

Few expected them to overturn a 1-2 deficit at Santiago Bernabeu, but they succeeded in doing so and more. They scored 4 goals past a hapless Real defense and made a statement to the football world with their forceful display.

They were too strong and fast for Real, and their direct attacking football might test the defense of their opponents in the quarterfinals as well. Attacking midfielder Dusan Tadic scored his 26th goal of the season last night and would be the player to watch out for in the quarter-final as well.
