Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has admitted their season is over after the defending champions were dumped out of the Champions League last 16 on Tuesday. Ajax ran riot at the Santiago Bernabeu, winning 4-1 and 5-3 on aggregate to send the holders out before the quarter-finals for the first time since 2010. Madrid's humiliation comes at the end of a miserable seven days, in which they had already been knocked out of the Copa del Rey and, realistically, La Liga's title race following consecutive defeats at home to Barcelona. "I've never felt as sick as this, I don't know how to explain it," said Carvajal.

"In one week everything has gone, and all of it after matches at home. Tonight we can't look for excuses, they were better and they deserved to go through. "We have a young team that can improve. It is clear the season is over but we will continue working in the league because that's what we have to do and we have to be professional."
