Enchanting Ajax continue to defy odds

Whatever happens in the remainder of this tournament, and whether or not they lift the trophy, you suspect there will be echoes of Ajax’s class of 2019 reverberating around European football for many years to come.

Having already won in Madrid and Turin, they brought their refreshing, youthful style of football to England and enthralled a global audience once again with an excellent away win, one which also required defensive steel as Tottenham fought back strongly in the second half.
