SOC: Champions League Predictions

Tottenham will host Ajax on April 30th to kick off the Champions League semifinals matches. I believe Ajax will advance 4-3 on aggregate. I feel like even though Ajax is young they will be able to beat Tottenham because they defeated Real Madrid, who won the last three years and upset Juventus who obviously has Cristiano Ronaldo. Tottenham has an injury from their best player, Harry Kane, and I think in the long run it will hurt them even though Son Heung-Min is playing really well lately. The second game will be on May 8th. As for Barcelona and Liverpool, I'm taking Liverpool 5-3 on aggregate. Lionel Messi has been carrying Barcelona all season. If someone else doesn’t show up then it will be hard to move on because of Liverpool's balance. For the most part, when Mo Salah doesn't show up, other players do.

Power Rankings:

1. Barcelona (7-3-0)

2. Liverpool (6-1-3)

3. Ajax (5-4-1)

4. Tottenham (5-2-3)

5. Juventus (5-1-4)
