Tottenham vs Ajax highlights: Watch Van de Beek goal, Vertonghen injury and all the Champions League action

1/73
Tom Doyle8 May 2019

Tottenham head to Amsterdam tonight knowing nothing but a win will do as they bid to join Liverpool in the Champions League Final.

Spurs face an uphill struggle if they are going to reach the Final after being beaten 1-0 by a dominant Ajax side in north London last week.

Questions were also asked of Spurs' medical team after they allowed Jan Vertonghen to return to the field after a nasty head injury during Tuesday night's semi-final first leg.

The Belgium defender was given the all-clear by the doctors but was barely able to walk moments later and was escorted off.

That soured Spurs' night even further as they went down to Donny Van De Beek's first-half goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This was just their second ever European Cup semi-final, and 57 years since their last one, but they are not out of it as they showed that this excellent Ajax side can be got at, even if they did not force goalkeeper Andre Onana into a meaningful save.

Ahead of tonight's game, watch the video below to relive last week's drama...

Tonight's result could be momentous in more ways than one for Tottenham, with Mauricio Pochettino admitting that his future at the club could rest on whether they win the competition.

If Pochettino was somehow able to lead his side to glory in this competition - a feat he has said would be a "miracle" - he admits he would have to think about finding a new challenge.
