Ajax have touched down in London ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg against Tottenham on Tuesday night.

The Dutch giants are looking to make their first major European final since 1996 and are just two games away from booking their place in Madrid on June 1.

Ajax have had the luxury of a full week off to prepare for this match after the Dutch Eredivisie cancelled last weekend's domestic round of fixtures in order to give their team maximum chance of doing well in Europe.

They have enjoyed a remarkable run to reach this stage of the competition. They came through a group that included Bayern Munich and Benfica before going to produce enormous upsets in the knockout rounds.

First game Real Madrid, the reigning champions and winners in the last three years, and they swatted them aside with a stunning 4-1 win at the Bernabeu.

They then met Juventus in the quarter-finals but came from behind in Turin to win 2-1 and eliminate Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.
