Football fans in Nigeria are currently sad at the exit of Real Madrid from the UEFA Champions League.
The Spanish Giants and defending champions were dumped out of the competition by Ajax who defeated them 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Spain.
Real Madrid had gone into the game on the back of a 2-1 victory away at Ajax. The tie eventually ended 5-3 on aggregate.
The news of their exit has saddened some Nigerian football fans who blame the club’s recent woes on the exit of its former talisman Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to the fans, the club shouldn’t have sold a player of his calibre who delivers over 50 goals each season.
Many of the Nigerian football fans aren’t really Real Madrid fans but followed the club’s activities when Ronaldo was still their player. They also lamented that last night’s game destroyed their bet tickets.
