Tonight sees the second legs of the Champions League ties. In a quick turnaround from their last games on Wednesday night (the others get an extra day) sees Barcelona with a 1-0 lead over Manchester United and the Ajax V Juventus tie at 1-1.
Barcelona v Manchester United
Barcelona have a one-goal advantage from the first leg at Old Trafford and are unbeaten in their last 30 home Champions League ties, but if United can pull into the belief they had when they knocked out PSG… it could be quite the match.
Ole Gunnar Solksjær returns to the scene of his greatest night in a Manchester United shirt when he came off the bench to score the winning goal in the 1999 Champions League Final against Bayern Munich.
I feel that United will just fall short this time around but their season has turned around from a few months ago.
Draw on the night. Therefore Barcelona to win 2-1.
Juventus v Ajax
Juventus are looking to make the semi-finals for the third time in the last five seasons. Ajax have not reached the semi-finals since 1996-97 and I think they will just fall short in Turin. But I think they will push Ajax throughout this tie so don’t expect a big scoreline.
There is of course the Cristiano Ronaldo factor too.
Juventus to win 1-0. Therefore Juventus to win 2-1.
With the games tightly poised, it should be a great evening of football.
