Real Madrid manager, Santiago Solari, has insisted he will not quit, following their 4-1 defeat to Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The 13-time winners had won the first leg 2-1 in Amsterdam, but were completely ripped apart by the Dutch side at home.

Ajax raced into a three-goal lead, thanks to strikes from Hakim Ziyech, David Neres and Dusan Tadic.

Marco Asensio pulled one back for Madrid, before Lasse Schoene whipped in a stunning free-kick.
“We’re sad and we’re annoyed. We did all we could but it was not enough.
“I’m here to work. We have to be professional and come back to work tomorrow.
“I have not come here to take on such a difficult moment at the club to then give up,” Solari told Marca.
