translated from Spanish: AJAX is still lying on the football rich: shares reach record

AFC Ajax actions reached a record Thursday after the young Dutch team composed mostly of players trained at home, further overshadowing the wealthy elite of European football in the most important tournament of the continent.
Ségolène Royal as a visitor for 1-0 over Tottenham Hotspur in the first match of the semifinals, Ajax is the bookmakers favorite to reach its first final of the UEFA Champions League since 1996.
In the first trading day in Amsterdam after the game on Tuesday, shares advanced to a 6.6 per cent to 20.9 euros, whereupon its rise over the past year totaled 90 percent. Dutch markets were closed on Wednesday as a holiday.
After obtaining 91.9 million euros ($103 million) in adjusted income in 2018 compared to 381 million pounds ($497 million) from Tottenham, Ajax came to this instance with an important economic disadvantage. However, the commitment of the club youth bore fruit once more once midfielder trained at 22-year-old Donny van de Beek scored the only goal in a first half dominated by the picture of Netherlands.
Seven of the 22 players who started the meeting graduated from the Youth Academy of Ajax, including three – Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Christian Eriksen – of Tottenham. With Captain Harry Kane watching from the stands because of an injury, the host team had none of its graduates of the juveniles in court.
In accordance with the standards of the Premier League in England, Tottenham is not at all a team that spends much on signings, focusing rather on finance their new stadium of 1 million pounds with a capacity to accommodate 62,000 fans. Having said that, the 185 million pounds which has paid the London club since the season 2016 / 2017, according to the website statistics transfers transfermarkt.co.uk, amount to nearly twice what they paid Ajax during the same period.
The semi-final return match will be played in Amsterdam on Wednesday, may 8, and the winner will face Barcelona or Liverpool in the final. The catalan club has the advantage over the runner-up of last year after winning 3-0 as local on Wednesday.
The finalists of this season will each receive 15 million euros in prize money and the winner will take home another 4 million euros.
