Ajax and Juventus go head-to-head in an intriguing Champions League quarter-final match-up this week
Ajax and Juventus could produce one of the most thrilling encounters of the Champions League quarter-finals when they face each other on Wednesday night.
The young guns of Ajax host the wily old heads of Juventus in a battle of historic European giants.
Juventus captain Giorgio Chellini made his professional debut for Livorno on Ajax captain Matthijs De Ligt’s second birthday.
But for all Ajax’s relative inexperience, they have proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with in Europe this season.
Ajax emerged from Group E – which included Bayern Munich and Benfica – without tasting defeat and left Real Madrid shell-shocked after a 4-1 thrashing in front of the horrified Bernabeu faithful.
Juventus represents Ajax’s biggest hurdle so far, and marks a real coming of age for Erik ten Hag’s squad.
Cristiano Ronaldo produced a Champions League display only Cristiano Ronaldo could produce to drag Juventus past Atletico Madrid in the last round, and he will be gunning for another scalp in the quarter-finals.

Juventus are irresistible on their day and Atletico were unable to lay a glove on them in Turin.
Much of this first-leg result hinges on Ajax’s mentality. The Dutch side are fearless, but there is still plenty to fear.
Their exuberance could rattle Juventus enough to crack them, or they could leave themselves exposed for Ronaldo and the gang to do what they do best.
