Tottenham Hotspur need a big performance this evening from their top stars.
German legend Lothar Matthaus has told The Sun that Tottenham Hotspur star Dele Alli needs to raise his game tonight.
Singling out the Spurs star, Matthaus criticised Alli’s performance from the first leg.
He called on the Tottenham ace to raise his game against Ajax to help Tottenham reach the Champions League final.
Matthaus also suggested that Heung-Min Son’s return from suspension could help Alli out.
He said: “Spurs needed far more from Dele Alli. I really like him but he didn’t show up. His display wasn’t there and it has to be better tonight.
“It might be different when Son is able to use his pace to run behind Ajax. That will create more space for Dele to get into the game more.”
Alli has struggled since returning from the injury he suffered in mid-January.
He can undo his sloppy form with a big performance, or even a bad one and a crucial goal against Ajax this evening.
Spurs are 1-0 down, but as Liverpool’s comeback last night showed, anything is possible over 90 minutes.
