Matthijs De Ligt, Ajax Shock Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus in UCL Quarter-Finals

Ajax shocked Juventus to advance to the semi-finals of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, beating the Italians 2-1 in Turin. The aggregate score was 3-2.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave the hosts the lead in the first half, but their advantage didn't last long, as Donnyvan de Beek tied things up after a lucky deflection.

The visitors dominated after the break, and a strong finish from Matthijs de Ligt gave them a deserved lead and eventual spot in the semi-finals.

The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in Amsterdam a week ago, leaving Juventus as the favourites to advance.
