Morning.
What a game that was last night, & we'll be lucky of we can match that tonight, but you never know.
We will be featuring the other Champions League Semi-Final tonight, Ajax v Spurs, & maybe we can get two British teams into the Final.

9 entrants managed to successfully predict exactly 4 goals yesterday, which was a 4/1 shot, so the table had a bit of a shake-up.

The OPTA stuff;
Only one of the 17 previous teams to lose the first leg at home in a Champions League/European Cup semi-final tie has progressed to the final: it was Ajax in 1995-96, the Dutch team losing 1-0 at home against Panathinaikos before winning 3-0 away.
Ajax will attempt to reach their first Champions League/European Cup final since 1996 (losing finalists against Juventus) whilst Tottenham would become the 40th different team in Champions League/European Cup history to make the showpiece game, and the first to reach their first such final since Chelsea in 2008.
Tottenham’s two previous Champions League away games against Dutch opposition ended in draws with a grand total of 10 goals, an average of 5 goals per game. Also, since the start of 2018, Spurs have won only one of their six Champions League away games, a 1-0 victory at Dortmund in this season’s round of 16 (D3 L2).
Ajax’s joint-heaviest home defeat against English opposition was inflicted by Tottenham, in September 1981. Spurs won 3-1 at the Olympisch Stadion, courtesy of goals from Mark Falco (2) and Ricky Villa (1).
Ajax are winless in their last three Champions League home games (D2 L1). They could become the fourth team to reach the Champions League final with more away wins than home wins that same season, after Manchester Utd (2010/11), Juventus (2016/17) and Real Madrid (2017/18).
Qualifiers included, Ajax have already played 17 games this season in the Champions League (6 in the qualifiers, 11 in the group/knockout stages), more than any other team this season. They have only lost one of these 17 games, a 2-1 home defeat against Real Madrid in the round of 16.
Tottenham only had one shot on target in the first leg against Ajax, their joint-lowest total in a Champions League game.
Among the 2018/19 Champions League semi-finalists, Ajax are the only club to have scored in every game in the competition this season.
Hakim Ziyech has scored or assisted a goal in four of Ajax’s five Champions League knockout games this season (2 goals, 2 assists). He set up Donny van de Beek for Ajax’s goal in the first leg against Tottenham.
Suspended in the first leg against Ajax, Son Heung-Min has scored 50% of Tottenham’s goals in this season’s Champions League knockout stages (4 out of 8). He is the highest Asian goalscorer in the competition’s history (12 goals).
Kick off is 8pm, so the cut-off time is 7.30.
