Ajax fans celebrate in Juventus’ Stadium after historic Champions League comeback

Another incredible night to remember for the Dutch team

Ajax qualified for the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 1997 on Tuesday night and their supporters were keen to savour every moment in Turin. Juventus' Allianz Stadium was stunned by the visitors' 2-1 win in their quarter-final second leg, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo edged them into the lead with a typically-Ronny header from a corner. Some great footwork by Hakim Ziyech led to the attacking midfielder inadvertently setting up Donny van de Beek for the leveller before teenage star Matthijs de Ligt won the match for Ajax on 67 minutes. It led to amazing scenes in the away end, holding 2,000 Dutch fans. Pretty much everyone stayed around long after the final whistle, celebrating with the players who came back out from the dressing room to reap the glory of their achievement. https://twitter.com/Futbol_Replays/status/1118264948768018435 Inside the dressing room and stadium concourse, Ajax players and fans alike revelled in the historic evening.

Either side will feel confident taking on the Eredivisie giants, given their 22-year wait to reach this stage - and their thumping defeat to Juve back in the '97 semis. https://twitter.com/AFCAjax/status/1118270454505115655 However Ajax reached the final in their two previous trips to the final-four, both in their mid-90s pomp, even winning the trophy in 1995 with icons such as Patrick Kluivert, Jari Litmanen and Clarence Seedorf in their team.
