Dutch Eredivisie side Ajax Amsterdam pulled off another miracle by knocking Juventus out of the Champions League on Tuesday night, following their 2-1 win at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Cristiano Ronaldo headed home in the 28th minute to open the scoring, only for Donny van de Beek to equalise for the Dutch club six minutes later before Matthijs de Ligt got the winning goal on 67 minutes.
Former Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo has stressed that Ajax's win was not a fluke as they also eliminated the holders Real Madrid in the round of sixteen and he's backing them to go all the way to the final.
''They totally dominated the game, they came into this game with a total conviction they can have something from it," Yobo said in his post-match analysis on SuperSport.
