First Leg: Ajax 1 – 1 Juventus
Sad news for Italian football. Juventus lost the UEFA Champions League Quarterfinals Second Leg game on Tuesday 16 April 2019 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy. It is a sour defeat because the aggregate result is Juventus 2 – 3 Ajax and is eliminated. Ajax qualifying for the Champions League Semifinal and Juvents is out. Oh m y gosh, it hurts me even to say it. I am so sad.
It is Juventus to open the score in the 28th minute following a corner conceded by Daley Blind. The great Cristiano Ronaldo making his way fast to reach the perfect spot for the headed goal defeating Ajax goalkeeper Onana sending the ball in the bottom right corner. The assist is by midfielder Miralem Pjanic. This is the 126th goal in Champions League by Cristiano.
