Andrea Pirlo: Juventus Can 'Physically Destroy' Ajax and Win Champions League

Juventus have been handed a "good draw" in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals because they can "physically destroy" opponents Ajax, according to Andrea Pirlo.

The Old Lady are in the last eight thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick in the second leg of their last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid, which saw Juve overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg:

The 3-0 victory should give the Italian giants some momentum in the tournament, which will be their key focus for the rest of the season as Juventus are 15 points clear at the top of Serie A.
