Tottenham beat Ajax in the Champions League semi-finals.
Donny van de Beek was part of the Ajax side which suffered an agonising Champions League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Lucas Moura’s stunning second half hat-trick denied Ajax a place in the final against Liverpool.
Van de Beek scored Ajax’s winner against Spurs in the first leg, which ultimately counted for nothing.
He is eyeing a form of ‘revenge’ when Holland take on England in the upcoming UEFA Nations League.
Van de Beek told De Telegraaf: “That is a good opportunity for revenge.”
He admits he is still finding Ajax’s defeat to Tottenham tough to deal with.
He said: “Of course the final of the Champions League on Saturday sometimes comes to mind. But I try not to think too much about it. Otherwise I won’t sleep anymore.”
While he won the Dutch title with Ajax along with the cup, the Champions League was the big prize, with Ajax’s last victory coming back in 1995.
Tottenham are bidding to win the trophy for the very first time, and the Nations League is currently an afterthought for their England contingent.
