Fresh from memorable quarter-final victories, Tottenham and Ajax meet in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with a place in the Madrid final on offer for the winners. Previous meetings • The teams have met in only one previous European tie, Spurs winning 6-1 on aggregate in the 1981/82 European Cup Winners' Cup first round. • Goals from Glenn Hoddle, Mark Falco and Ricardo Villa helped the English club to a 3-1 first-leg win in Amsterdam, the home side's sole response coming from Søren Lerby. • Falco was again on target in the return at White Hart Lane, scoring the second goal in a 3-0 home win with Tony Galvin and Osvaldo Ardiles also on target. • Spurs went on to reach the semi-finals of that season's European Cup Winners' Cup, eventually losing 2-1 on aggregate to Barcelona. Form guide Spurs • Spurs were beaten in their only previous European Cup semi-final: 1961/62: L 3-4 Benfica (1-3 a, 2-1 h) • Tottenham are the seventh English club to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, an outright competition record that was previously shared with Spain. They are the only one of the four semi-finalists yet to win the European Cup – or indeed reach the final. • Tottenham have already faced Dutch opposition this season, taking four points from their two group games against PSV Eindhoven (2-2 away, 2-1 home) with Harry Kane scoring three of their four goals. Those results made it six games without defeat against Eredivisie clubs (W4 D2), since a 1-0 loss at home to PSV in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup round of 16 first leg. • Spurs went on to lose that 2008 tie on penalties despite a 1-0 away win in the second leg, giving them the overall record W3 L3 in two-legged aggregate contests against Dutch teams. • That 2007 defeat by PSV at White Hart Lane is Spurs' sole home reverse against Dutch clubs (W4 D3) – they have won the last two. • Tottenham have lost a European final to a Dutch club, going down 4-2 on aggregate against Feyenoord in the 1973/74 UEFA Cup final (2-2 home, 0-2 away). Ajax • Ajax's record in European Cup semi-finals is W6 L2: 1968/69: W 3-2 Spartak Trnava (3-0 h, 0-2 a) 1970/71: W 3-1 Atlético Madrid (0-1 a, 3-0 h) 1971/72: W 1-0 Benfica (1-0 h, 0-0 a) 1972/73: W 3-1 Real Madrid (2-1 h, 1-0 a) 1979/80: L 1-2 Nottingham Forest (0-2 a, 1-0 h) 1994/95: W 5-2 Bayern München (0-0 a, 5-2 h) 1995/96: W 3-1 Panathinaikos (0-1 h, 3-0 a) 1996/97: L 2-6 Juventus (1-2 h, 1-4 a) • One of Ajax's two European Cup semi-final defeats came against English opponents, Nottingham Forest – then the holders – beating them in the last four in 1980 en route to retaining the trophy. • Ajax's away record at this stage of the European Cup is therefore W2 D2 L4. • Ajax's last experience of English opposition came in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League final, when they lost 2-0 to Manchester United at Sweden's Friends Arena. That ended a three-match unbeaten run against English clubs (W2 D1). • The Amsterdam club have not lost in their last two visits to England, most recently a 2-2 draw at Manchester City in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League group stage. A 2-1 reverse at Aston Villa in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup group stage is Ajax's sole defeat in their last five visits (W1 D3). • Ajax have, however, won only twice away to English clubs in their 11 visits (D5 L4). A 2-1 win at Manchester United in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League round of 32, in which Toby Alderweireld – now of Tottenham – got the second goal, ended a 40-year wait for an away victory over English opponents, although it failed to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit. • That 1981 loss at Tottenham is Ajax's only away defeat in London, however, where they have otherwise recorded a win and two draws – all against Spurs' local rivals Arsenal. • Ajax claimed their first European Cup in London, beating Panathinaikos 2-0 in the 1971 final at Wembley. • Ajax's record in two-legged ties against English clubs is W3 L4; they have lost the last four, most recently that 2011/12 contest against Manchester United. © FROM UEFA.COM |
