Ronaldo made it eight in five when he opened the scoring, but a second-half leveller left the game finely poised going into the second leg in Turin.
That man Ronaldo struck again in the first half of the second leg, handing the Italian champions a clear advantage, but matches against Bayern and Real had taught this young Dutch side to never give up.
A stunning fightback was on once again when Donny van de Beek equalised after 34 minutes and Ajax’s dominance was rewarded with Matthijs de Ligt’s second-half winner that sent the club into the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 1997.
UEFA’s correspondent at the match Paolo Menicucci put the performance into context by stating: ‘I have seen Juventus lose in this stadium, albeit not many times, but I have never seen a team dominate here as Ajax did in the second half tonight. The young Dutch side played brilliant football and could have scored many more if they had been more clinical.’
