Ajax stunned Juventus to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 2-1 comeback win in Turin.
Cristiano Ronaldo gave Juventus the lead after 28 minutes with a record 126th goal in the competition, his ninth in seven meetings against Ajax.
But goals from Donny Van De Beek and Matthijs De Ligt gave Ajax a thoroughly deserved 3-2 aggregate success.
AJAX
Onana 6: Not much he could have done to prevent Ronaldo’s perfect header. Not tested as much otherwise.
Veltman 7: Had to deal with the threat of both Alex Sandro and Ronaldo. Was pushed to the ground by De Ligt during Ronaldo’s goal, but he should have positioned himself better in the first place.
De Ligt 8: Solid game in defence and scorer of the winner. Was partly at fault for Ronaldo’s goal though, pushing Veltman to the floor.
Blind 6: Didn’t really put a foot wrong, but wasn’t as impressive as the other other defenders on the night.
Mazraoui N/A: Was taken off after 10 minutes due to an injury.
Van de Beek 9: Scored the opener and was a constant threat, probably the best player on the pitch.
Schone 8: Perfect corner for De Ligt to head home the winner, maintained tempo in midfield.
De Jong 7: Far from his heroic performance in the first leg. Did enough to get the job done, though.
Ziyech 8: Always a threat on the break, set up Van de Beek with what was a shot. But does it really matter? Also, he had a goal ruled out as he was marginally off-side.
Tadic 6: Out-performed by his team-mates up-front, some of his link-up play was impressive in patches though.
Neres 6: Promising runs and a constant threat, but also guilty of poor decision-making and a lack of end product.
Substitutes
Sinkgraven 7: Was tasked to fill in at left-back and did well to keep wonder-kid Moise Kean out of the equation.
Magallan N/A: Was only on the pitch for eight minutes, replacing first-half substitute Sinkgraven.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar N/A: Took the field for the last two minutes or so.

JUVENTUS
Szczesny 7: Two brilliant saves to keep Juventus in the tie until De Ligt headed home.
De Sciglio 4: Didn’t get the memo about the offside trap for Ajax’s first goal, clearly a game-changing moment.
Bonucci 5: Was played around with by Ajax’s attack. Probably should have conceded three more if not for poor conversion by the away side.
Rugani 5: Looked lost at times, especially against an advancing Van de Beek.
Alex Sandro 6: Provided some threat in attack and allowed Ronaldo some freedom, nothing exceptional though.
Emre Can 6: An average game by the German, started attacks well but was insipid in the final third.
Pjanic 7: Best player for the hosts, did everything he could in midfield to keep the tie alive and even produced a crucial block to prevent a third goal.
Matuidi 5: Bursts of productive runs followed by large spells during which he just went missing.
Bernardeschi 4: Looked lost throughout the game and failed to provide Ronaldo much support like he usually does.
Dybala 5: Looked out of touch and was subbed off at half-time due to an injury.
Ronaldo 6: Opened the scoring, but failed to provide anything else, one of those off-nights for the Portuguese.
Substitutes
Kean 5: Not one of those glorious nights for the youngster. Failed to trouble Onana in goal.
Cancelo 6: Provided some threat in the last 30 minutes after he came on, should have started.
Bentancur N/A: Took the field for the last 10 minutes, barely involved.
