Spurs and Ajax are approaching kickoff in North London as the Champions League Semifinals get underway. It’s a testament to each team’s grit and each manager’s excellent gameplans that these two underdog squads are here. They’ve both had a wild run that has been incredible for fans to watch. Ajax are making the most of their season with so many stars set to leave for other clubs in the summer, while Tottenham continue to patch together wins with their injury-depleted squad. Both will be fighting hard for a place in the final.

It is a big surprise to see these two in the Final Four of the Champions League, but they have earned it by knocking out some huge teams on their way to the semis: Spurs dominated their Round of 16 against Borussia Dortmund before eliminating Manchester City in what was one of the most memorable 90 minutes in the history of the game in the quarterfinals; Ajax have been the true giant killers of the competitions, destroying the defending champions Real Madrid in the Round of 16 before knocking out Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus to reach the semifinal.
Now the two teams come into a very even matchup with a huge chance to make the Final in Madrid. The first leg on Tuesday might be the most important of the two games: Ajax have been incredible away from home, and Spurs will play this one without their two best players, Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane. If the Dutch once again win on the road, it’d be a huge step to a place in the title match. But Tottenham has shown in this competition how much they love the drama, and even a bad result at home wouldn’t scare them going into the second leg.
