The last time Uefa predicted a team to be 100% through was also Paris, against Barca, and we all know what happened.

yes but that is only possible against 2nd tier clubs like PSG or Arsenal.
We wouldnt have done it against top1 tier clubs

If we go out against a French team, I'll leave this board. Not that I'm certain we're through, have such a bad feeling.

I cant find the link atm, but solskjær answered this question at a press conference.

He suspected it had to do with them running and playing with more intensity then before. he also said this was a risk they was aware off, but they didnt want to wait with changing the system until the summer when they could focus on more fitness training.

Wow if Madrid hasn’t scored that second I would be fairly confident they were going out tomorrow.

I still like Ajax though. FDJ is going to score the winner that sends them through!!

Ajax had a recent calendar less tight than that of Real Madrid. In 2019 he made only nine official matches. Real Madrid have played 17 matches since January 1. Altogether, Real Madrid has 44 games in the season and Ajax 41.Media of age of Ajax in the game in Amsterdam: 24 years. 6 players under 23 years. Real Madrid with an average of 27 years. 2 players under 23 years. The Ajax budget per season is € 28 million. The Real Madrid is € 630 million, 22 times higher. According to Marc Overmars, Ajax's football director, only Bale's salary is worth half a year from the Dutch. The difference in the attacks is very large, but it is understood that Ajax is playing a weaker League. 124 goals for the holland (average of 3 / match) 87 goals for the Spaniards (average of 1.98 / match).Karim Benzema is the top scorer of Madrid in the season with 20 goals. Bale has 13 and Ramos 11 (8 from penalties).
At this point last season, Cristiano had 28 goals. If Benzema had converted the penalties that Ramos charged, he would have the Portuguese numbers.

Real Madrid will go through with much difficulties, they will go through just like against Shalke.

Manchester United will win at Paris but not sure about going through.

I'd be very disappointed if Ajax cannot eliminate Real Madrid tonight given to the circumstances.

They rested more than a week since the Dutch FA postponed their league game (that should've been played on last weekend). Which should greatly benefit their young squad.

On the other hand, Solari hasn't rotate the gala XI in RM's recent games. Today will be Real Madrid's 4th game in 10 days.

I don't understand why Solari was actually thinking with playing their gala XI against Levante and in the LaLiga El Clasico last weekend.

He's doing the exact same mistake Valverde did last season when we were eliminated from Champions League due to fatigue.
