BLOGMAS DAY 15: Reacting to my Champions League Group Stage Predictions

Welcome to day 15 of blogmas.

A couple of months ago, I published a blog post about my predictions for the Champions League Group Stage. Now that the group stage is over, today’s post is going to be reacting to those predictions I made and seeing how well I did. This is going to be a shorter post but I hope you enjoy it! I will be doing a knockout stage predictions post in the new year so look out for that!

I would highly recommend reading the first post first as it will make a little more sense! Let’s get to it.

Group A

I predicted:

1. Bayern Munich
2. Atletico Madrid
3. Redbull Salzburg
4. Lokomotiv Moscow

The actual results:

1. Bayern Munich
2. Atletico Madrid
3. Redbull Salzburg
4. Lokomotiv Moscow

As you can see, I got 4 out of 4 which I’m very happy about!

Group B

I predicted:

1. Real Madrid
2. Inter Milan
3. Shakhtar Donetsk
4. Borussia Monchengladbach

The actual results:

1. Real Madrid
2. Borussia Monchengladbach
3. Shakhtar Donetsk
4. Inter Milan

I got 2 out of 4 on this one!

Group C

I predicted:

1. Manchester City
2. Porto
3. Olympiacos
4. Marseille

The actual results:

1. Manchester City
2. Porto
3. Olympiacos
4. Marseille

Another one where I got 4 out of 4!

Group D

I predicted:

1. Liverpool
2. Atalanta
3. Ajax
4. Midtjylland

The actual results:

1. Liverpool
2. Atalanta
3. Ajax
4. Midtjylland

Ah! Another one! Things are going well for me.

Group E

I predicted:

1. Sevilla
2. Chelsea
3. Krasnodar
4. Rennes

The actual results:

1. Chelsea
2. Sevilla
3. Krasnodar
4. Rennes

2 out of 4 on this one. I’m quite annoyed because I initially got this right but I switched Chelsea and Sevilla at the last minute.

Group F

I predicted:

1. Borussia Dortmund
2. Zenit Saint Petersburg
3. Lazio
4. Club Brugge

The actual results:

1. Borussia Dortmund
2. Lazio

4. Zenit Saint Petersburg

Let’s just ignore this one. 1 out of 4? Unbelievable.

Group G

I predicted:

1. Barcelona
2. Juventus
3. Dynamo Kyiv
4. Ferencvaros

The actual results:

1. Juventus
2. Barcelona
3. Dynamo Kyiv
4. Ferencvaros

2 out of 4. Barcelona, what are you doing?

Group H

I predicted:

1. Paris Saint-Germain
2. RB Leipzig
3. Manchester United
4. Istanbul

The actual results:

1. Paris Saint-Germain

4. Istanbul

My brother was not happy with this prediction as he’s a Manchester United fan but they ended up in the Europa League so who’s laughing now?

Thank you for reading!
