Real Madrid is undoubtedly the most successful side in the history of the Champions League. Los Blancos have won the majestic Champions League title a record 13 occasions, including the previous 3 editions, as Real successfully claimed successive titles.

With that being said, the Spanish giants are no longer in the run for a 4th successive title as they were knocked out in the Round of 16 by a young and potent Ajax side.

Real Madrid had won the previous 3 editions of the UEFA Champions League and not many would've bet against Los Blancos when they were drawn against Ajax in the Round of 16.

But Ajax played out of their skin to register a famous victory which ensured their qualification to the quarterfinals. The Ajax devotees will strongly believe that if they can knock out the defending champions, then they can very well lift the trophy.

The players will feel the same, and this confidence could really hurt Juventus as the Bianconeri gear up to face this season's surprise package in the form of Ajax.
