The Champions League is down to four and we’ve a couple of cracking first legs on offer in the great football cities of Liverpool and Munich.
The quarterfinals threw up some results which defied betting odds, and so online betting fans need to work out the unexpected semi-final between Liverpool and Roma. And in the other clash, two of the favourites meet as Real Madrid visits Bayern.
TUESDAY
Liverpool vs AS Roma
This tie evokes memories of the 1984 Final, which Liverpool won on penalties, and the victor has a chance to make history. Roma could win the Champions League for the first time while Liverpool is seeking a sixth crown, which would take the Reds above Bayern and Barca.
Brazilian keeper Alisson has been in inspired form and he’s the man to stop Liverpool’s prolific strike force spearheaded by Mo Salah, and with an added threat from Roberto Firmino. Radja Nainggolan is a key man for the Italians; he wins the ball and is playing further up the pitch to try to create mayhem.
WEDNESDAY
Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid
Two of the grand old names of Europe come face to face in Munich where Real Madrid takes on FC Bayern. The hosts have been dealt an injury blow and it’s a big one, with influential and battling midfielder Arturo Vidal ruled out for the season with a knee injury.
That will give Zinedine Zidane’s Los Blancos a boost to their hopes of registering a third successive Champions League title; but the boss has urged his other players not to rely on Cristiano Ronaldo so much. The talisman has been in inspiring form of late, so who’d bet against him scoring in Germany?
