After beating Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham players hope to draw Ajax but the venue of the quarter-final remains an issue
It is a time for Tottenham to dream. The London club completed an impressive Champions League elimination of Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night, winning 1-0 at Signal Iduna Park for a 4-0 aggregate triumph and now, the attention has turned towards the quarter-final draw on Friday week.
Toby Alderweireld is not one to get carried away but even he could revel in the possibilities. What if Spurs were to be drawn against Ajax, his old club, whose thrilling young team have progressed at the expense of the holders, Real Madrid? Spurs have three other former Ajax players in their ranks – Jan Vertonghen, Davinson Sánchez and Christian Eriksen. It would be an emotional reunion for each of them.
