main target, we achieve that. it was a gradual build—up, every game, we started to play better. matias de ligt is a phenomenal player, he is i9 ligt is a phenomenal player, he is 19 years old, he is strong, he can head the ball. frenkie dejong, confident with the ball, always looking for solutions, doesn't want to kick the ball away. kind it from the back. a home—grown product, tremendous player. i think they are very focused on achieving something, to bring something to the club, to have the opportunity to shine. very happy about the way we have played and how the whole world is talking ajax again. why is it that ajax's youth system has been so successful through the yea rs 7 has been so successful through the years? it is because they have a special philosophy of attacking

football, playing with wingers. that is what they have always had in high... that is what they are successful because they have something different than any other club. we have seen it throughout the yea rs, club. we have seen it throughout the years, how is it they keep bringing, churning out brilliant, talented players? i imagine a lot of clubs would want to bottle the success that ajax has produced. ajax doesn't have the money that the big clubs have the money that the big clubs have stopped they had to do something different. they don't have the money to buy big players like premier league clubs so they have to do it themselves. something like the ground rule of ajax, first look at your own youth academy, if you have enough players to get to the first team. that's what is all about with ajax. what is the feeling in holland? ajax. what is the feeling in holland ? is ajax. what is the feeling in holland? is it the feeling that ajax will get to another final? everybody thinks they will get to the final,

especially because they played very well against real madrid and juventus. that is good team spirit. but also because for tottenham, harry kane, son heung—min, their belly is not there. they already think they have the difference here. enjoy the game, best of luck. as we now, only five teams have won the european cup more times than ajax. two of them play tomorrow in the shape of barcelona and liverpool. liverpool touching down in spain ahead of that game tomorrow night. liverpool in that tight title race against manchester city, domestically, in the premier league. we can now hear from john murray who is in the barcelona. that is so much to look forward to in this time, they have both been european champions five times and they are

both in prime form. barcelona have not lost a league game since january, liverpool have not lost since january. liverpool have won their last ten matches in all the competition. you would think that there is bound to be goes. rebecca firmino was able to train before he flew to barcelona. as for barcelona, they have continual and suarez. and of course, the irrepressible, sometimes unstoppable, leonel messi. so it's a real challenge for liverpool, a ground well they have never lost, the only english club to have won here in european competition against barcelona but it's all about making sure the tie is still alive to go to anfield next week. this match you will be able to hear on five live with full commentary from inside your new camp. what a night in-store tomorrow night, and what a night in—store at
