The centre-back felt his side were worthy of the win after having to fight to hold on to their lead in the second half against Spurs
Matthijs de Ligt believes Ajax have a "very good starting position" after a hard fought 1-0 win over Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.
Donny van de Beek's goal 15 minutes into the clash in north London was enough to give the Dutch side an advantage for the return leg in Amsterdam on May 8.
Erik ten Hag's side enjoyed a bright start but found themselves under pressure in the second half, and captain De Ligt was relieved to see out the victory.
