Tottenham vs Ajax: Ruthless Spurs will end Dutch side’s fairytale, says Liverpool Champions League hero Didi Hamann

Tottenham overcame remarkable odds to reach the Champions League semi-finals
Ajax have shocked everyone to reach the last-four having started their European campaign all the way back in July in the second qualifying round. They made it out of a group which featured Bayern Munich and Benfica, going unbeaten across their six matches, before beating Real Madrid and Juventus in the round of 16 and quarter-finals respectively.Mauricio Pochettino’s side are themselves a surprise package considering they had just one point after their opening three group stage matches, but the quarter-final defeat of Manchester City earlier this month proved Spurs deserve to be in the semi-finals. And Spurs’ victory over Pep Guardiola’s side proves they have enough about them to secure victory over their Dutch opponents, Hamann believes.Speaking to Racing Post, Hamann said: “Ajax have done incredibly well getting this far they were unbeaten in a group which included Bayern Munich and then home-and-away victors over Real Madrid and Juventus.“This is an incredible fairytale and they need untold praise for their achievements.“But Tottenham were good enough to beat Manchester City and I see sheer ruthlessness from them. They can get an important home win.”Hamann’s former side, Liverpool, are themselves hoping to book a place in this season’s Champions League final.
