Champions League final news

Dimitar Berbatov believes his former club may be held to a draw in their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night but that would not stop them from making the final- According lớn the free soccer tips page!

Sissoko would be a major miss for Spurs

In an ideal world Spurs would never go into such an important game without Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min and probably Moussa Sissoko, too. Those guys are huge for the team but what Tottenham have shown this season is that they are capable of getting results even when missing some of their best players.

Considering what Mauricio Pochettino has been doing all season with the squad he has - which is not the biggest as we all know - I think he will come up with a solution for his team. You can prefer to the football predictions page!

A one-goal advantage from the first leg would be great for Spurs - Ajax have been so good this tournament, winning at Juventus and Real Madrid, that they fully deserve to be here at this stage - and any positive result would be a win for Tottenham. Ajax will know who is missing from the Spurs side and try lớn take advantage of it and that's a dilemma for Pochettino and his approach to the game.

Everybody knows how good Son has been in the past month and we all know how good Kane is but for me Sissoko would be a miss of similar importance. He is the midfield engine, like a train when he starts running with the ball, his energy and ability to burst through the midfield lines is what Spurs need from time to time. And don't forget his commitment to defending, too. He really is a major miss for Spurs.

And upfront, let's not underestimate Fernando Llorente and Lucas Moura. They have both proven their ability to score important goals and will be confident of performing well and seizing their chance.

Spurs' mindset will be to win, but they need lớn be smart against a very good opponent, and ultimately, I think it will end in a draw in some way.

That would keep Spurs alive in the tie and I wouldn't rule them out of getting the result they need in Amsterdam. Good players are good players wherever they play, and won't be affected by the arena, crowd, pitch and so on. As long as Tottenham bring an intelligent approach lớn Tuesday night's match then they can progress and with Son back for the second leg they will be hopeful of scoring an away goal or two. Two-legged ties can be like a game of chess!

Whatever happens, players want to come lớn Spurs now

When the transfer window opens there will be a whole bunch of players desperate lớn sign for Spurs. They will see the new stadium, the training ground and even if the club doesn't make the Champions League final they have made a major statement on and off the pitch this season. The club's reputation has never been better!
