Ajax will face Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League semi-final next week.

The London club overcame the odds to progress against Manchester City, with the final in now in their sights.

The game is one of the largest in both clubs recent history, so what do Tottenham Hotspur fans think of Ajax?

I spoke with journalist and Tottenham Hotspur fans Aaron Collins about how he feels heading into the semi-final.

What do you make of Ajax?

Ajax have been playing some great football this season, especially in the Champions League.

Under Erik ten Hag, they have a great balance between a strong defence and a dangerous counter attack.

More importantly, they compliment each other as a team, so it’ll be a challenge when we play them in the semis.

Both set of fans also have strong Jewish backgrounds, so the atmosphere should be amazing.

How do you rate Spurs’ chances against them?

It will be difficult, as our squad is quite thin at the moment and are missing the likes of Harry Kane and Heung min-Son through injuries and suspension.

Furthermore, both sides have been competitive away from home, which adds another element of intrigue.

In similar circumstances to the previous round against Man City, Tottenham need to win the first game without conceding to get to the final.

Which players are you worried about the most?

I could choose six or seven players to be honest. Frankie de Jong, Hakim Ziyech, Nico Tagliafico, David Neres and Dusan Tadic have all caught my eye on several occasions.

In the Eredivise, they’re in a tense battle for the title against PSV, who we struggled against in the group stage.

Luuk de Long and Hirving Lozano caused us problems, and we cannot allow Ajax too much space, otherwise we will eventually be punished. Kevin De Bruyne did this to us at the Ethiad, and hope that this doesn’t become a repeat problem.

Which Tottenham players will make the difference?

Jan Vertonghen was our stand out player for me against Dortmund in the Last 16. His blocks and positioning were crucial to keeping a clean sheet across the two games and his partner with Toby Alderweireld will be relied upon as well.

With Son suspended for the 1st leg and Kane out for the season, the likes of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli , Lucas Moura and Fernando Llorente will be under a severe amount of pressure to perform.

There is no doubt that the ability is there to get the job done. However, there have been games under Mauricio Pochettino, where we haven’t taken our chances and it has proved to be costly.

That nearly occurred against City, but divine intervention in the form of VAR saved our Champions League dream.

We’ve had a great season, and the fact this had been done without any signings shows how great of a job Pochettino has done. The one thing he is missing at the moment is a trophy, and hope the team can bring home the Champions League to White Hart Lane.
