De wereld raakt niet uitgesproken over de mannen van Erik ten Hag. Twitter staat vol, Ajax is trending, Amsterdam is hot.
Een van de mooiste tweets is wat ons betreft het commentaar van Peter Drury van het Britse BT Sport. Aan het eind van de wedstrijd praat hij op fantastische poëtische manier over Ajax: 'They are slick, they are quick, they are fearless, they are fun and they are semi finalists.'
Omdat het zo mooi is hebben we de hele tekst uitgeschreven:
The Ajax boys have kicked over the old lady. The upstart have plundered the establishment. And the famous Ajax of Amsterdam are into the semi finals of the European Champions League, for the first time since 1997.
Ronaldo is out, for Juventus the wait goes on. Youth has had it today. And who says, who says, this brilliant class of Ajax Amsterdam, who says that this is the end of it?
Ronaldo disappears. Ajax go to their corner and they party. What a thrill they have been to witness and what a thrill they still will be. They will pose a problem for City or Spurs. No doubt about that.
They are slick, they are quick, they are fearless, they are fun and they are semi finalists. Ronaldo scored first for Juve. Van de Beek's icely equalise and De Ligt got big for an heroic header which won the night for Ajax and they are into the last four for the first time in the twenty first century
