Tottenham vs Ajax Champions League semi-final: When is it and what players are suspended?

Tottenham Hotspur are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League after eliminating Manchester City on away goals in one of the most incredible matches in Champions League history.

There were four goals in the opening 11 minutes of the game and non-stop action right up until the dramatic finale to an astonishing contest, when City had a stoppage time goal from Raheem Sterling, which would have sent them through, ruled out for offside after a VAR review.

City fans had celebrated what looked like the goal that sent them into the last four before the replay confirmed that Sergio Aguero was offside in the build-up.

Instead, Tottenham go through to the final four of the Champions League for the first time in the club’s illustrious history.

They will now play Ajax for a place in the final against Liverpool or Barcelona – here’s everything you need to know about the tie.
