Ajax are on the verge of making it to the
final of the UEFA Champions League this season after a slender but a vital 1-0 advantage over Tottenham Hotspur, going into the second leg of the semifinal.
Ajax had faded away from prominence in the last two decades but are now just a match away from the biggest football game in the European calendar.
It is fair to say that the Dutch giants have pulled off a fairytale run in the Champions League.
In the Round of 16 Ajax lost the first leg tie 2-1 at home against Real Madrid but came back miraculously in the second leg to beat the giants 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The pattern continued in the last eight stage as well. Juventus managed a 1-1 draw in Amsterdam but lost at home to the four-time European champions.
Ajax's home record in the Champions League this season has not been great.
But in the semifinal against Tottenham, they have already played their away fixture where they managed to pick a very narrow 1-0 win. If Pochettino’s Tottenham can replicate their performance against Manchester City in the quarterfinal, the English club can break Dutch hearts and make it to the final.
