AJAX v JUVENTUS

1ST LEG: APR 10, JOHAN CRUYFF ARENA, AMSTERDAM 2ND LEG: APR 16, ALLIANZ STADIUM, TURIN

AJAX are a joy to watch, outplaying Real Madrid in both legs. Frenkie de Jong didn’t give Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric a look-in. Director of Football Marc Overmars and CEO Edwin van der Sar deserve credit for keeping this young group together. But I cannot back against Juventus and Cristiano Ronaldo. This competition drives him and if he wins a sixth title, they’ll have to rename it the Cristiano Ronaldo Cup! KEOWN’S PREDICTION: JUVENTUS

Juventus are unbeaten in nine games against Ajax since losing in the UEFA Cup in 1974
