Four times European champions Ajax are hunting their first major continental triumph since Patrick Kluivert downed AC Milan in the 1995 final.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana says that the flamboyant European dreamers aren't afraid of anyone as they prepare to continue their wild ride in the Champions League with the first leg of their semi-final at Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday.
"After beating Juventus and Real Madrid you're not afraid of anyone," Onana said in an interview with AFP. They are also top of the Eredivisie, although level on points with PSV Eindhoven, and take on Willem II in next month's domestic cup final. Instead, Ajax finished comfortably second in Group E, unbeaten and only two points behind eventual group winner Bayern Munich, and now have a realistic chance of joining the Bavarians on five European Cups after turning on the style in the knockout rounds.
Star midfielder Frenkie De Jong will leave for Barcelona in the summer for an initial 75 million euros , while centre-back Matthijs de Ligt, who sent Juventus packing with a bullet header in the quarterfinals, could follow his teammate to Catalonia.
