Jose Callejon scored twice (28', 88') as Champions League knockout-stage-bound Real Madrid dominated visiting Ajax Amsterdam 4-1. Despite the defeat, the Dutch club will be playing in the knockout stage of the Europa League. It was the sixth victory for Los Galacticos over Ajax in Champions League play in the last three years. That's Real's Kaka fighting Ajax's Christian Poulsen for the ball.
