Video footage released by the club revealed that the Spain midfielder, Marco Asensio who has family in Holland, greeted his relations following the 2-1 victory last week.
Real Madrid defeated Ajax 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash.
That included his grandmother, who Asensio embraced and shared a conversation with in, to many on Twitter's surprise, Dutch.

After his match-winner in Amsterdam, @marcoasensio10 met up with the Dutch side of his family, to whom he dedicated his goal against @AFCAjax_EN! #HalaMadrid
The 90-year-old was in high spirits after seeing her grandson score, and she proudly showed off a Real Madrid pin, gifted to her by the club.
There was one warning from her though, as Asensio went to leave, as she pleaded with him to come and visit Holland again soon.
'You can't wait so long to come back next time,' she said, 'because I won't be alive anymore!'
Asensio dedicated his goal during the game to his family, a strike that sealed a 2-1 first-leg win for Santiago Solari's side.
The second-leg takes place in Spain on March 5.
