Former Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has said that he hopes Spurs beat Manchester City in the Champions League, because it would set up the most favourable semi-final for him.
The retired Dutch star is eager for Spurs to triumph in Wednesday’s quarter-final second leg, as it would mean they would play Ajax in the final four. The Dutch side secured their semi-final berth on Tuesday night, after beating Juventus 2-1 and 3-2 on aggregate.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live after Ajax’s win, Van der Vaart was asked if he hopes Spurs progress.
