SPURS need Son to shine on Amsterdam as they fight for their Champions League lives.
Heung-Min Son’s first-leg ban contributed to a 1-0 Ajax win that puts them in the box seat.
Only one of the last 17 clubs to lose a first leg of semi have reached the Final and that was Ajax against AEK Athens way back in 1996. Oops – make that two!
Liverpool achieved a miracle on Merseyside to KO Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate so an all-English final in Madrid is possible.
We’re in for treat if it even gets close to matching the drama we witnessed at Anfield.
With Son back Spurs will feel they can grab an away goal – they’ve done so on their previous 10 CL travels – that will keep hopes alive.
Ajax have been superb this season but their best results have come away when they’ve been up against.
Now they’re 1-3 favourites to qualify it will be interesting to see how they handle the pressure.
The Dutch dazzlers are 6-5 at McBookie to win on the night with Spurs 5-2 at Marathonbet.
I reckon it will be tight and tense and could be a draw at 14-5 with bet365. Spurs are out if they don’t net and a score draw pays 18-5 at BetVictor.
Spurs had to rely on Fernando Llorente up top in the first leg but South Korean ace Son is a better option.
He rattled in two early goals in the 4-3 defeat at Man City that booked his side’s semi-final spot.
Son is 11-2 at Paddy Power to break the deadlock and 19-10 with Unibet to net.
Ajax have threats from all over the park with Dusan Tadic being one of the biggest and the ex-Southampton star is 33-20 with Unibet to score and 5-1 at bet365 to strike first.
