De Ligt 'Couldn't Care Less' About Ajax's Opponent In Champions League Draw
Ajax knocked out Real Madrid to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, but captain Matthijs de Ligt doesn't care who they draw next.
Matthijs de Ligt "couldn't care less" who Ajax draw in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The Dutch giants are one of four sides to have already booked their place in the last eight, alongside Porto, Manchester United and Tottenham.
But captain De Ligt is not bothered who the draw pairs Ajax with next, having ended Madrid's three-year European reign in stunning fashion thanks to a 5-3 aggregate triumph.
"We don't even know all teams who go to the next round," the teenage defender told Omnisport. "So we need to see after the draw.
"I couldn't care less. You have to win your own matches. I don't look at who goes through. You look at who you draw and you play against them.
"We knew straight away it was a massive result. We were very happy with this. The best reactions? I got a lot, but I don't know one which was the best. My family, my girlfriend. All the reactions are important for me."
