The true stars perform at the biggest football games, at the business end of the season. And so it was as Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain blasted their teams towards Cardiff in the Champions League semi-final first legs last week.
Real Madrid and Juventus both took a firm grip on the ties but with betting odds stacked against them, the two underdogs have nothing to lose and their fans won’t forgive them if they go out with a whimper.
Juventus vs AS Monaco (May 10, 02:45 GMT+8)
Higuain was too good for the Monaco defence, scoring his fourth and fifth goals of the competition. But that number only matches the five scored by each of Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe and Ramadel Falcao. The thing though is Juve’s defence is the best in the world and hasn’t conceded a goal in over ten hours of Champions League football. Try as they might, I can’t see the youth and experience of Monaco’s strikers breaching the Bianconeri’s rearguard more than once, if at all.
For a 🌟🌟 bet, I’m going for a total of 2-3 goals at odds of 1.92.
Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid (May 11, 02:45 GMT+8)
Last week I said the Madrid derby presented a chance for Antoine Griezmann to show Ronaldo what he could do. Now look how that turned out? The highly-rated French star was subdued all night while Cristiano showed the world he’s still the man, scoring his eighth, ninth, and tenth goals of the tournament. Atletico can’t afford to sit back and play the second leg on the break and their desperation for goals could play into Los Blanco’s hands.
Over 2.5 goals will pay 1.81 for a 🌟🌟🌟 bet.
