Ajax became the first Dutch side to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-final since PSV in 2005, beating Juventus 3-2 over two legs.

PSV reached the semi-finals back in 2005 after beating French side Lyon on penalties following a 2-2 draw on aggregate.

With stand out performances from Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt and Dusan Tadic, how many of this current crop of Ajax players would make it into that PSV side?

Goalkeeper: Heurelho Gomes

Andre Onana has been fantastic in this years Champions League, but Gomes was almost unbeatable at times in a PSV shirt.

Gomes was regularly praised for his fantastic reflexes as he won four Eredivisie titles and a KNVB Cup during his time at PSV

The Brazilian earned a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2008 for £8m.

Right Back: Noussair Mazraoui

The Moroccan right-back has been one of the unsung heroes for Ajax this season, with many of the plaudits reserved for other players.

The 21-year-old has cemented his place in the Ajax side this year and has shown a fantastic level of maturity for his age.

Mazraoui has scored two goals in nine games in the Champions League this season and will be looking to improve that tally against Tottenham.

Centre Back: Matthijs de Ligt

De Ligt has become one of footballs most exciting young talents this season, with the 19-year-old regularly putting in heroic performances.

Despite his lack of experience, de Ligt’s leadership on the field has more than justified his position as Ajax captain.

His late header to win the game against Juventus will forever go down in Ajax folk law and if he is to leave in the summer, he will leave behind a fantastic legacy.

Centre Back: Alex

Daley Blind’s experience alongside de Ligt has been invaluable this season, but Alex is an overall better defender than the 29-year-old.

The Brazilian spent three years on loan at PSV from Chelsea and his strong physical stature and cannon-ball like free kicks earned him the nickname “The Tank”.

Alex has won trophies everywhere he’s been, winning multiple league titles in the Netherlands, England, France and his native Brazil.

Left Back: Nico Tagliafico

Despite missing the second leg of the quarter-final due to suspension, Tagliafico has been vital for Ajax this year.

The Argentine left-back, has scored three goals in eight games in the Champions League this year as well as being excellent defensively.

Lee Young-pyo was a great left back for PSV, but he certainly didn’t have the impact on his side that Tagliafico has had this year.

Midfield: Mark van Bommel

There aren’t many teams in the world that wouldn’t benefit with having Mark van Bommel in their midfield.

The 2004-05 season was van Bommel’s final season of his first spell with PSV before moving to Barcelona. The midfielder was remarkable that year, scoring 14 goals in 30 games.

Van Bommel, who is now PSV manager, is one of their greatest ever players and simply couldn’t be looked past.

Midfield: Frenkie de Jong

Frenkie de Jong has taken the footballing world by storm this year, becoming one of the most talked about young players on the planet.

Similarly to van Bommel, he will move to Barcelona in the summer following the biggest season of his career.

De Jong’s passing displays throughout this seasons Champions League have been phenomenal and has dealt with the spotlight beaming down on him with ease.

Midfield: Phillip Cocu

Yet another midfielder that left the Eredivisie for Barcelona, Cocu returned to Eindhoven in 2004 age 34.

Cocu brought a level of experience that was vital for their run as well as a passion for the club that could not be denied

Cocu is yet another Dutch footballing legend and it’s simply impossible to keep him out of the side.

Right Wing: Hakim Ziyech

Hakim Ziyech has been one of Ajax’s best players this season with 15 goals and 12 assists in the Eredivisie this season.

The Moroccan his struggled to replicate his spectacular form in Champions League this season, picking up just two goals and two assists in nine games.

Despite his stats not being as strong in Europe, Ziyech has still been a threat throughout the campaign and his versatility has been a blessing for the Amsterdam side.

Left Wing: Ji-sung Park

Ji-sung Park will forever be remembered for his time with Manchester United, but the South Korean midfielder was fantastic for PSV.

The 2004-05 Champions League campaign is credited for why Park was signed by Manchester United for £4m.

Before becoming the reliable versatile midfielder that he is known as today, Park was a techinacally sound winger, notching two goals in the European campaign that year before going on to win everything with the Red Devils.

Striker: Dusan Tadic

Dusan Tadic has been one of the best signings that Ajax have made for years, with the 30-year-old hitting the ground running this season.

On top of scoring 22 league goals this season, the Serbian forward has scored nine Champions League goals this season, making him the third highest scorer in the competition this season.

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink was a great striker, but his three goals in Europe in the 2004-05 campaign don’t hold a candle to Tadic’s.
