Ronaldo's seven goals against Ajax

"We'll probably have a better chance of winning without Cristiano Ronaldo, but I want to play against the best players and beat them," said Frenkie de Jong ahead of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final.

A declaration of war by the young Dutch midfielder, ahead of facing the striker who has scored the most goals against Ajax in Europe. Ronaldo has scored against the Dutch team seven times in five matches.

Numbers that distinguish Cristiano Ronaldo as Ajax's biggest nightmare, especially after masterminding an impressive comeback to eliminate Atletico, three-time Champions League champions.

This statistic exceeds that of Messi, Lewandowski, Benzema, Makaay or Callejón, who have also been prolific scorers against Ajax.

Massimiliano Allegri cleared all doubts in the press room: "Cristiano has trained well with the team and is available, so he will start as a starter. De Jong has the challenge he wanted."
