My Champions League Predictions

It's Finally Decided the Champions League is close to starting all that's left is the draw for the groups and then the excitement begins. With Last seasons final feeling like a life time ago I'm more than ready to get hyped for the new campaign. Last season we saw the re-emergence of Barcelona and the Underdogs Juventus prove to be the two best teams in Europe but what will we see this season ?
Well just like last year were I predicted Juventus rise to the final (still gutted they didn't win it) I'm going to attempt to predict the finalist again and to take it one step further I'm going to guess the player of the tournament plus the team of the tournament I'm also going to throw in Young Player of the Tournament don't actually no if UEFA do this but hey I'm Doing it so yeah.

So every time the Champions League starts everyone reels off names of the likely winners which mainly consist of Barcelona , Real Madrid and Bayern Munich but if the last three Champions league finals have taught us anything it's that there's always an underdog team that comes out of no where and makes it to the final Dortmund , Atletico and Juventus  proving it the last three years in a row plus lets not even forget four years ago when Chelsea won it they was 6th in the league so its got a recent history of throwing us a few surprises.

My two finalists I'm picking out right now are PSG and Barcelona I know Barca are the obvious ones but there team is looking strong and I feel they could be the first team to do back to back Champions League and yes I no we say this every year but come the knock out stages I'll Probably re-predict anyway but right now these are me choices. I'm picking PSG because there a team that's always been close but never quite got the luck or momentum you need to go on a good cup run. Now I'm not going to go into to much detail on this one because as I said come the Knock Out stage I may do another prediction and see how different my opinions vary lol.

So My Player of the Tournament

I'm going for Neymar Yes I could say Messi and please everyone but I really do think if Neymar can build on last season we could really start to see the gap between the 2 best players in the world Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo shorten and have Neymar join them on there level. He got 10 goals last season a lot of them important and he's still only 23 so expect to see the same this season and hopefully even more.



Young Player of the Tournament

I'm going for Marco Verratti hes a young man with the mentality of an old pro and the quality of an up and coming world star don't be surprised to see him mixing it with the best he can control a game at the tender age of 22 and for some one of his size he still packs a punch when it comes to being a physical presence he does need to sort his yellow card tally out as he gets booked far to much but other than that he is a fantastic midfielder and one who I think is going to tear up the stage if not in the Champions League then in the up and coming Euro's.

My Team of the Tournement

This is my best 11 of the tournament let me no what you think to it who do you think will make it ?

So yeah that's my Predictions let me no what you all think and come the knock out stages I'll re-look and see how far off I am and give myself one chance to change my mind lol

Let me no your predictions in the comments

Thanks
