Ajax stun Juventus to reach Champions League semis via SABCNewsOnline

Ajax stunned Juventus to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 1997 as Matthijs de Ligt’s thumping second-half header secured a 2-1 second-leg victory in the last eight in Turin on Tuesday.

“It’s an incredible evening for Ajax and its players and also for Dutch football,” said coach Erik ten Hag.“We said before we were not the favourites but with our philosophy, we can go further, we’ve again surpassed our limits.” Allegri adds: “It’s not our worst elimination. We had big expectations, but the Champions League is a strange competition. You have to arrive in peak condition. In the last month, we have been struggling with several injuries. Even tonight we were missing important players.”Allegri had been forced to reshuffle his side because of injuries, with Paulo Dybala returning in place of the injured Mario Mandzukic, while Captain Giorgio Chiellini was also side-lined.

Teenage striker Moise Kean replaced Dybala after the break, but it was the Dutch who turned on the style, with only Szczesny’s reflexes keeping Juventus in the tie.
