Sturridge Stuns with Spot-On Champions League Predictions
Few anticipated the goal-fest that unfolded between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but former footballer Daniel Sturridge did exactly that. The Champions League semi-final first leg at the Allianz Arena ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, and the Ex-Chelsea star pre-match predictions sent social media into a frenzy.
Prophetic Posts on Social Media
Before the game kicked off, Sturridge took to social media (platform unspecified) to share his insights. He pinpointed Leroy Sane and Harry Kane as Bayern’s goal scorers, even predicting Kane would score from the penalty spot. His message read: “Sane will be a major threat tonight. He’ll score, and Kane will get a penalty.”

The match played out remarkably similar to Sturridge’s predictions. Sane found the net in the 53rd minute, his first goal in half a year. Shortly after, Kane silenced Jude Bellingham’s taunts and converted a penalty, putting Bayern in the lead.
Double Trouble Predicted for Real Madrid
The former Chelsea man wasn’t finished with his prophetic pronouncements. He also foresaw Vinicius Jr. scoring for Real Madrid, with the Brazilian forward netting a brace.
While he predicted Rodrygo would find the net as well, the winger ultimately earned a penalty for Real, securing a crucial draw for the Spanish giants. Sturridge’s earlier comment hinted at this: “I think Vini and Rodrygo will both score tonight. Their speed will be unstoppable…”
The Score is Set
The most impressive part? Sturridge even guessed the final score! He messaged: “I’m leaning towards a 2-2 draw. It could be 3-2 Bayern if their substitutes come on strong. Goals galore.”
Social Media in Awe
Sturridge’s uncanny predictions left social media users stunned. Fans bombarded him with requests, hoping to tap into his seemingly prophetic abilities. Arsenal supporters jokingly asked him to predict Manchester City’s slip-ups, while others queried Chelsea’s European prospects and even their personal love lives.
The spectacle even caught the eye of opticians Specsavers, who chimed in with a playful comment: “With foresight like this, you’re excused from having an eye test for the next two years.”
