Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong has once again pulled off an imposing display in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final encounters against Juventus.

Ajax were magnificent in their style of play as they settled to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday night. Although Juventus will be the happier side of the two, courtesy of Ronaldo’s crucial away goal.

The Portuguese gave Massimiliano Allegri's men the lead just before half time after a beautifully dinked ball from Cancelo which was headed home by the living legend himself.

The home side came back roaring and got the equalizer just within a minute after the restart through David Neres’s beautiful curler which Szczęsny had no chance of saving.

However, the tie is still far from over as they will lock horn once again in Turin on the 16th of April.
