It means Tottenham will face Liverpool in Madrid on June 1 in the first all-English final since Manchester United beat Chelsea in 2008. That's a scenario few had imagined last week when Barcelona and Ajax both won the first legs.

"We saw Liverpool last night, it goes to show it's not over until it is over," Tottenham full-back Danny Rose said.

For Ajax, it ended a dream run that saw a team built around young homegrown talents knock out Real Madrid and Juventus before putting themselves on the brink of the club's first Champions League final since 1995.

The hosts dominated the first half and De Ligt, the 19-year-old captain, headed home a corner in the fifth minute after goalkeeper Hugo Lloris had been forced into making a good one-handed save from Dusan Tadic.

Son Heung-Min countered by hitting the post at the other end minutes later but Ziyech doubled the lead in the 35th. Donny van de Beek streaked forward and laid the ball off to Tadic, who cut the ball back to Ziyech for a one-time finish beyond the reach of Lloris and inside the far post.
