Back from the injury, star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo will represent the Italian club Juventus against the Dutch club Ajax in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday. Ajax defeated Real Madrid to make it to the last eight of this football league, so his claim cannot be underestimated.

Ronaldo will be responsible for the elimination of Juventus 23-year-old title drought, but he himself is recovering from injury and is returning to the team. Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has given place to Ronaldo in his 25-member team, who can relieve his supporters.

Giorgio Chiellini misses out due to a left calf contracture while Emre Can also stay in Italy after straining his right ankle in the 2-1 Serie A victory over AC Milan on Saturday.

He played hat-trick where his last match was against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the last 16 of the Champions League. Ronaldo was hurt while playing on behalf of his national team last month. Before this important match, Ronaldo was very fresh in a video with his wife and son.

Ronaldo is the highest goalscorer in the Champions League. His name has 124 goals. He also scored 15 goals in the last season. Juventus defeated Ajax in the finals of the 1996 Champions League between Juventus and Ajax. Juventus has not been able to achieve this title since then.

The four-time winners of the trophy will make their first appearance in the last eight since 2003.

They made a welcome return to the forefront of the European the game when they reached the Europa League final two years ago, losing to Manchester United.

However, it has become harder for Dutch clubs to compete with the very biggest sides on the continent in recent seasons.
