Predictions
The UEFA Champions League semi-finals are upon us. The action begins Tuesday on CBS and Paramount. Manchester City hosted Real Madrid on Tuesday and Liverpool and Villarreal face off on Wednesday. Here’s what to watch as the four teams chase down the Champions League final.
Vinicius overtakes Benzema for once
Real Madrid have not achieved this so far as they have been clearly the better team in the last two rounds. Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea both crashed out of the Champions League, believing they had beaten their winner during the tie. Rather, in the biggest moments, he has had the best player on the pitch in Luka Modric or Karim Benzema.
This is hardly a sustainable outlook, at least not when the latter is on an extremely hot streak. With 12 goals, including one hat-trick in the knockout stages, Benzema will probably be a shoo-in for this competition’s personal acclaim and could overtake Robert Lewandowski to win the Golden Boot. But a word of caution is to compare his actual scoring returns with his expected goals (xG) tally of 6.46.
Odds
Since the Concacaf Champions Cup was reformatted to become the Concacaf Champions League in 2008, the MLS side never won the title, finishing as runners-up four times. Liga MX sides, on the other hand, have been dominant, winning 12 times and Monterrey themselves winning five titles. But the Seattle Sounders have a great chance of making their name in history by being the first MLS side to win the whole thing.
It is absolutely true that the Sounders, one of the most successful teams in MLS history and one of the most talented rosters on paper after signing Albert Rusnak, are the team to stand the chance. He has dominated the competition with 13 goalscorers and also has the best defense.
Puma will not be happy to be in the final after ousting favorite Cruz Azul as Juan Dieno is likely to win the Golden Boot with seven goals already in the Champions League. Their scary game makes them difficult to break through and hosting the first leg could allow Puma to sit back in Seattle for the second leg and defend if they get the lead.
