The second leg of Ajax - Tottenham is almost there. Ajax won the away game by 0 - 1 due to a goal by van de Beek. Who do you think will ein today's game and who will join Liverpool in this year's Champions League final?
Ajax team: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico; Schöne, De Jong, Van de Beek; Ziyech, Tadic, Dolberg
Tottenham team: Lloris; Trippier, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Rose; Sissoko, Wanyama; Alli, Eriksen, Lucas; Son

Some statistics:
*Ajax can reach the CL final again tonight for the first time in 23 years and for the 7th time in history (including European Cup, which is done in all these statistics). This would make them #7 in terms of most CL finals together with Benfica.
*Tottenham on the other hand can reach the CL final for the first time today, which would make it the 7th English club to do so. This would also make England the only country with 7 different finalists in European football history.
*According to WhoScored statistics, Ajax is the 3rd highest-rated club of this CL (behind City & Barcelona). Ziyech is also the highest-rated player by performance still left in the CL and Tadic has the most goals of players still in competition with 6 goals.
*On the other hand Tottenham has significantly better aerial stats, which were especially visible in the 2nd half of the previous game.
*For the first time in 4 years Ajax have won a price (the KNVB Beker, the Dutch Cup). They're currently tied with PSV in competition, but lead with a significantly better goal difference with 2 games to go. This means that in theory, Ajax could still win the treble this year, which only 7 clubs have ever acheived. Ajax already won the treble in 71-72, which means that Ajax could become the 2nd club (after Barcelona) to win the treble twice.

Ajax shares the fist three letters of my name so I do have a reason to cheer for them although I also like Spurs. I will be happy with either team reaching the finals.

Neres is injured at the last moment, so Dolberg will replace him. He's not as consistent and hasn't shown nearly as much as Neres, but Dolberg is very talented and if he ever wants to show what he can do, it's today.

Nice to see Ajax haven't sold the stadium name for money and it's the Johan Cruyiff arena.
