AMSTERDAM: Cristiano Ronaldo was again hailed by Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri after scoring with his side's only shot on target to earn a 1-1 draw away to an excellent Ajax in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final in Amsterdam on Wednesday .
"Ronaldo showed that he is on a different level. His timing and movement is different to everyone else's, there's nothing you can do about it," said Allegri. This result allows them to maintain hope ahead of the return, even if they might feel they should have won here. Ten Hag's brilliant young side is likely to be broken up at the end of this campaign, so this may be the Amsterdam club's best chance in a long time to win a fifth European Cup.Frenkie de Jong is leaving for Barcelona, and the 21-year-old's eagerness to get on the ball and start moves here underlined why the Catalans were prepared to pay an initial €75 million in January to secure his signature.
Ronaldo was largely quiet, but he was afforded too much time and space by the Ajax defence as he opened the scoring right on half-time. The Ajax fans greeted their team's return for the second half with a rendition of Bob Marley's Three Little Birds, and they were still belting out the words to their adopted hymn when they equalised within a minute of the restart.
