Santiago Solari tries to save a season branded as "over" by Dani Carvajal after Ajax wipe-out 

Sports Burst is going to have to lay off the coffees big time on Wednesday morning as it has gotten itself into quite the tizz over all things Real Madrid.

The uber-Champions League winners were expected to put a rough week behind them with the double defeat to Barcelona with a comfortable match against their Dutch visitors at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League, holding a 2-1 lead. 

But Madrid was scrubbed clean by Ajax from the competition to leave Dani Carvajal lamenting post-match that a "s**t season" was "over."

Santiago Solari was a little more positive - as was his job, at least for the moment - but admitted that the players were "sad and hurting."

Wednesday sees the Madrid press in full crisis mode - predicting the arrival of Jose Mourinho to take over, reporting on Isco pulling a disappearing act after being dropped from the squad, and Sergio Ramos busy being filmed in a personalized VIP box by his own documentary crew during the game. As you do.

And as if matters couldn’t get any worse, Madrid announced that Vinicius was set to miss up to two months with knee ligament damage.

The day will see the start of the Real Madrid blame game - and Sports Burst live will be at forefront pointing fingers of judgement and all and sundry.

PSG looks to more miracles from Mbappe against Manchester United 

The ghosts of Champions League disasters of the past will be spooking PSG on Wednesday. 

With the injured but still dancing Neymar potentially watching from a carnival float somewhere, Kylian Mbappe looks set to continue as the club's inspiration in easing past Manchester United in a Champions League Last 16 second-leg encounter. 

The French outfit is 2-0 up from the first tie and if Mbappe can keep up a scoring run of seven goals in the past five games, then a huge hoodoo will be off PSG's backs as the team moves into the quarterfinals. 

"His personality is extraordinary, he is one of the best strikers in the world," was the happy sigh from PSG boss Thomas Tuchel ahead of the game in PSG's home. 

Mbappe might even have some help up front with the possible return of Edinson Cavani after injury. 

One Frenchman who will be missing from the big show in Paris is Paul Pogba who is suspended after a red card in the first leg defeat in Old Trafford.

Roma visits Porto in an attempt to hold on to a sketchy 2-1 lead in Wednesday's second game. 

River Plate begins Copa Libertadores defence 

Boca Juniors kicked off its Copa Libertadores campaign on Tuesday night but could only manage a goalless draw at high altitude in Bolivia against Jorge Wilstermann - which is a whole team and not just one fella. That would be unfair. 

The big winners in the night's six games - all across the beIN SPORTS network - were Flamengo, which came away with a 1-0 win at San Jose after an effort from Gabigol (remember him?) and Libertad who defeated dark horses, Universidad Catolica.

Reigning Copa Libertadores champions, River Plate begins its defence away at Alianza Lima live on beIN SPORTS CONNECT and our Spanish service at 7:15PM ET / 4:15PM PT. That is one of seven games across the network with options of both English and Spanish commentary.

Elsewhere on Tuesday night, the USWNT defeated Brazil in the last match of the SheBelieves Cup but it was not enough to top the standings with England coming away as winners. 

It was a bad night for two MLS sides in the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals, first leg round with NY Red Bulls and Houston Dynamo suffering home defeats to Santos Laguna and Tigres respectively.
