Ajax Amsterdam believe they are still very much alive in the Champions League even though they were held to a 1-1 home draw by Juventus in Wednesday’s first leg of their quarter-final tie. Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo had given the Italian side a halftime lead only for David Neres to equalise 30 seconds after the restart. “We have a team with much potential and we are showing that in the Champions League. “In the return, we’ll have to give everything because Juventus are incredibly difficult.”Ten Hag praised his team’s showing, even though Ajax did not create many clear-cut goalscoring opportunities. Even if you are running with him and tracking back, he is incredibly quick,” added the Ajax coach.
