Ronaldo and his teammates prepare the final steps for the match

Coach Erik ten Hag: `We have a unique playing style`

Ajax coach replied before the match: `We have midfielders who can control the ball well. Tactically, the team is very energetic and strong. Our advantage is the position exchange.

`Juventus is an experienced team and can play football in many different ways. This will be the next intense match after Bayern and Real. We will play football like every day and have to read the game well.`

Max Allgeri highly appreciated Ajax: `That team defeated champion Real Madrid. They possess youth and a speedy style of play. Their fluid playing style will be very unpredictable.`

Ronaldo returns to training

Ajax: Noussair Mazraoui is suspended.

Juventus: Emre Can is absent.

To appear in the quarterfinals, both teams created unbelievable matches.

Ajax and Juventus possess two completely opposite playing styles.

The confrontation between the two teams at Johan Cruijff Arena tonight will embody two completely opposite generations, one is the youth of their twenties, the other is the annoying oldness.

Ronaldo is definitely the most important star in Juventus’ squad and the return of the Portuguese superstar will strengthen the Old Lady.

15 – Ajax are unbeaten in 15 of the last 16 matches in the Champions League

2 – There have been more than 3 goals scored in Ajax’s last 3 matches
