Manchester City fans are allowing themselves to be cautiously optimistic of reaching the Champions League final after Ajax beat Juventus in the quarter finals.
City trail Tottenham 1-0 ahead of the second leg of the quarter final at the Etihad on Wednesday, but now know they will face Ajax in the last four.
Ajax produced another stunning performance in this season's competition to beat Juventus 2-1 in Turin thanks to goals from Donny van de Beek and Matthijs de Ligt after Cristiano Ronaldo's opener.
In the quarter finals, they beat Real Madrid 4-1 at the Bernabeu after losing the first leg 2-1 at home.
So the Dutch side will not be an easy opponent by any means, but City fans were daring to dream of the Champions League final after their path to Madrid was laid out in front of them.
