'Cristiano Ronaldo has given us a lot but you need every player': Massimiliano Allegri says Juventus can't just rely on star as he insists he'll remain at Italian giants next season

This term will be Ronaldo's first in four years where he won't lift the Champions League trophy
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has hit back at the notion that his team were too reliant on Cristiano Ronaldo in the wake of their Champions League exit.

The Italian giants bowed out of the quarter-final stages on Tuesday night following a 2-1 home defeat by Ajax (3-2 on aggregate).

Ronaldo scored both of Juve's goals over the two legs but it wasn't enough to prevent them from a surprise defeat against their Dutch counterparts.

This season will be Ronaldo's first in four years where he won't lift the trophy after having won the tournament for the previous three seasons straight with Real Madrid.

The Portugal captain swapped Real for Juve last summer and was expected to be the missing piece in their quest for European glory.

Allegri was asked post-match if some of his squad felt Ronaldo would resolve everything, and the Italian had a direct response to that.

'No, absolutely not,' he said. 'Ronaldo has given us a lot over the course of the campaign, but when you reach the quarter-final, you need every player.

'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.'

Speaking further, Allegri confirmed that he plans to stay in Turin next season. The 51-year-old has been linked with moves away from the club but he says he has no intention to do so.

'I met the President a couple of days ago and told him that I will stay at Juventus. We'll sit down with the club and think about the future.'

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
