We've got to get past a rampant Ajax first and with no Kane and now no Son in the first leg its looking very hard!
Not to mention Liverpool have Barca!
Final is in Madrid which would make it interesting if Barca make it.

They’re the best side we’ve played this year, should have beaten us at Anfield, wouldn’t be confident if it happened (not that I expect to get last Barca)

Don’t rate Ajax at all, reckon even undermanned you will get the job done over 2 legs

Well that's a terrible sign for us after you said we wouldn't get out of the group stage! ;)

Gee, you can't think much of Juventus and Real Madrid then if you don't rate Ajax. Ajax have earnt their spot in the semi final by outplaying those two teams. Surely they can do the same to Spurs?

I’m a Juve fan and watch every single game and have to admit we are ordinary. Took some Ronaldo magic to squeeze into this round and without him we wouldn’t have got out of the group stage. Absolutely no other avenue to goals.
Spurs have really surprised me and have matured as a group and I can see them getting through to most likely play Liverpool in the final

At the time you guys were really struggling but full credit for the turn around. God I hope it’s a Barca v Ajax final but reckon it will be an all EPL affair

These 4.30am games are a killer especially when not getting home from work till 4am!
Ajax dominated first half but things changed when Vertonghan went off injured and was replaced by Sissoko and we looked the better side in tge 2nd half.
One nil down going away from home hard but not impossible especially with Son back. We do miss Kane and Winks though.

Still right in it. Will be interesting to see what Ajax do in the second leg. Do they sit on the lead or go for it and risk Son cutting them up. Think Spurs will score it’s just a matter of keeping them out

I think Ajax will get through. I can't see them sitting back and defending, so Spurs will get opportunities to score, but I don't reckon they will be able to hold Ajax out.

I think so too. Son back will help but Ajax in the first half this morning were the best team I've seen all season. It was nice for the Dutch FA to give them last weekend off. Spurs are extremely tired with their small squad and no recruiting. Stranger things have happened this Champions League though so fingers crossed.

Haven’t seen any of the game but there’s mixed reviews among the fans - Many saying we played well but couldn’t find the net, others suggesting we were junk. Had been planning to watch it at some stage but not sure I can be arsed now

I'd be in the "you played well, but couldn't find the net" camp. Only have to watch the highlights to see that.

Messi is the best player I’ve ever seen. Just the complete package and a great teammate. That free kick, wow we. Any lower and Allison saves it, any higher it hits the crossbar.
