Champions League semi-finals LIVE!
April 30- May 8
Tottenham and Liverpool have it all to do after the Premier League clubs were beaten in the first legs of their Champions League semi-finals by Ajax and Barcelona respectively.
Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs must win in Amsterdam if they want to reach the final now, with Donny van de Beek's goal sealing a key 1-0 first-leg win for Ajax in north London.
Spurs were second best for much of the game, and the only saving grace for Pochettino is that Ajax wasted chances to put the tie to bed.
In the other semi, Liverpool were made to pay for a host of missed chances as Lionel Messi scored twice - including a brilliant free-kick - while Luis Surez netted against his former club in a damaging 3-0 win at Camp Nou.
