Tottenham Hotspur vs Ajax: time, TV channels, lineups, how to watch Champions League semifinal online

Here we go. Tottenham Hotspur are playing in their first ever Champions League semifinal match, a first-leg tie against Dutch powerhouse and multiple European champion Ajax. And if you’re not nervous, I don’t know what to tell you.

Ajax are a very good team — they beat Real Madrid and Juventus over two legs to get here — and have some of the best young talent in the world at their disposal. Spurs are a talented team but will be without several key components of their squad — Harry Kane and Harry Winks are injured, and Son Heung-Min will miss this first leg through suspension for yellow card accumulation. As a consequence, Spurs may find it difficult to deal with Ajax’s intense press, and/or find it tough to score.

In many ways, having the home leg be first is good for Spurs — if they can contain Ajax and keep them from scoring an away goal, they can kick the can down the road a bit and hopefully go into the second leg in Amsterdam with a healthier squad. But first they need to get a result here. Any result will do.

THE CHAAAAAAAAAAAAMPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!

COYS!
