'Benatia thinks we can beat Juve' - Ziyech says ex-Bianconeri star is backing Ajax to cause Champions League upset

Ajax midfielder Hakim Ziyech has revealed that former Juventus defender Medhi Benatia is backing Erik ten Hag's side to knock his old club out of the Champions League.

The two heavyweights will meet in the first leg of their quarter-final tie at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Wednesday night, with the return fixture scheduled to take place on April 16.

Juve are among the favourites to win this year's competition, alongside the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona, after dispatching Atletico Madrid in the previous round.
