The 25-year-old Moroccan attacker showed against the Champions League holders why he has long been linked with a move to one of Europe's elite clubs
When Matthijs de Ligt was recently asked by Sky Sport Italia whether he'd prefer to play with Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo next season, the in-demand Dutch defender quipped: "I'd prefer to play with Hakim Ziyech at Ajax."
It may have been a joke but there is no denying that Ziyech has been a joy to behold of late, and most recently in Wednesday's Champions League last-16 clash with Real Madrid.
