JAMES THE JELLYFISH PREDICTS WHO WILL MAKE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL
Champions league specialists Real Madrid always find a way to win this tournament. They face a resurgent Chelsea side in the last eight, so it won’t be easy, but they should make the final four.
High-flying Napoli will win the Scudetto this year, and there’s every reason to believe they’ll go very deep in the Champions League. Victor Osimhen is one of the finest strikers on the planet at the moment and he’ll guide his side into the semifinals at AC Milan’s expense. He has 19 goals in 22 Serie A games this season. Milan’s city rivals Inter have looked a shadow of themselves and I can see them getting knocked out by Benfica. The Portuguese side will come unstuck against Napoli in the semis.
Arguably the tastiest quarterfinal tie of all sees Man City face Bayern Munich. Intriguingly, Pep Guardiola comes up against his old club, and they should have just abut enough to get past the Bavarians, with Erling Haaland on hand to exploit Bayern’s defensive frailties. Pep will then face old foes Real Madrid, and Los Blancos will find a way to get the job done. They always do.
Therefore, Real Madrid vs Napoli in the final is what I’m JTJ is predicting.
