Real Madrid have been European Champions for 1,012 days, but their time is up. In 89 days, the final will be held just 14km away at Atlético’s ground but they will not be there. In a single week, they have been knocked out of the Copa del Rey, the La Liga title race and the competition they won in four of the last five years. When the end came, it was brutal. It was also brilliant. Ajax came to the Bernabéu and tore them to bits, scoring four goals, each more impressive than the last.
