The star man scored in both legs of the Italian side's Champions League tie, but it wasn't enough to carry Juve through to the last four
Cristiano Ronaldo was not enough to help Juventus overcome what Massimiliano Allegri has termed an "emergency situation" for the Italian giants.
Juve fell short in their bid for a Champions League semi-final spot, losing out to Ajax following a 2-1 second-leg defeat to the Dutch outfit in Turin.
Allegri said there was no over-reliance on the club's star man, who joined in the summer after winning the Champions League the last three years, and four of the last five, with Real Madrid.
But Allegri does not believe the other players in the side were waiting on magic from Ronaldo and pointed to an "emergency situation" in terms of fitness as the limiting factor for his club.
"Ronaldo has given us a lot over the course of the campaign, but when you reach the quarter-final, you need every player," he told Sky Sports.
“I’ve always said that to win the Champions League, you need to reach a certain stage in good form and with good fitness levels. We’ve been in a bit of an emergency situation for a while and that can only be sustained for so long.
“We were missing four or five players tonight. Daniele Rugani and Leonardo Bonucci had good games for 50 minutes or so, but we lost our unity and organisation, giving Ajax the advantage.
