Ajax will look to reach their first UEFA Champions League final for 23 years when they host Tottenham at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Wednesday.

Erik ten Hag's exciting young side were 1-0 victors in north London last week, with Donny van de Beek's early goal proving enough to see off Mauricio Pochettino's men, who were missing star forwards Harry Kane and Son Heung-min through injury and suspension respectively.

Ajax won the KNVB Beker on Sunday with a 4-0 victory over Willem II and the Eredivisie leaders will be in the hunt for the treble, while Tottenham are looking to end a bad run of form, especially on the road, having lost their last six away from home in the Premier League.

Either Barcelona or Liverpool will be awaiting in the final at the Wanda Metroplitano. Here we look at some of the best Opta facts ahead of the Amsterdam clash.
