It has been 23 years since Ajax made it to the Champions League final, but the away goal, scored by Donny van de Beek last Tuesday at the Tottenham Stadium, has given the Dutch team a reason to believe that they will compete for a trophy in a final battle of the season.
The spirit of Ajax players has been boosted even more thanks to the victory in the domestic cup, which happened on May 5 in a game against Willem II. This makes Ajax and Barcelona the only two teams in Europe that have a real shot at winning a treble this season.

Tottenham approaches the second-leg in not such a jolly mood due to a disappointing Premier League defeat against Bournemouth (1-0) which knocked Spurs down to the 4th place in the table. The stats are also unfavorable for the Londoners since it was only once that a team which lost at home in the first leg of the semi-finals managed to fight its way through to the final. Ironically, that team was Ajax back in 1996.
On the bright side, Mauricio Pochettino can rely on Son Heung-min again as the striker had served his one-match suspension. Jan Vertonghen recovered after the head collision with Alderweireld to fortify the defense. Moussa Sissoko will also be back in the starting lineup.
Ten Hag can’t complain about injuries as all of the team’s regular players are fully fit and girded for the combat.
Expected lineups
Ajax: Onana - Veltman, De Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico - Schone, De Jong, Van de Beek - Ziyech, Tadic, Neres.
Tottenham: Lloris - Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen - Tripper, Sissoko, Wanyama, Rose - Eriksen, Alli, Son.
