Juventus: How Italian press reacted to club losing to Ajax in Champions League quarter-finals

Juventus crashed out of the Champions League to Ajax on Tuesday night with a 2-1 defeat in Turin and lost 3-2 on aggregate.

They are not the first big name European side to be dumped out of the competition by the Dutch side.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus were knocked out of the Champions League

Real Madrid suffered the same fate in the last-16 and now it is the exciting youngsters of Ajax who progress to the semi-finals.

Winning the Champions League has become an obsession for Juve.

Their last success was in 1996 and have lost in two finals in the last five seasons.

Domestic success is almost a given for the Serie A giants and they are on the verge of claiming an eighth successive league title.

Cristiano Ronaldo was signed for around Â£100million in the summer as the search for just their third Champions League title went on.

The Italian press are notoriously merciless when it comes to criticism of their big teams.

Here is how Wednesday morningâ€™s papers looked.
