I was 4-for-4 in the quarterfinals, though perhaps not so close on the score lines.

I think both of these pairings are toss-ups - Bayern still have to be the favorites, not just as defending champions, but with no domestic competitions causing them any distraction, but it’s also hard to bet against Real Madrid. From a fan’s perspective, I expect relatively high scores, with Bayern taking the tie 5-3.

Chelsea have the edge on Atletico Madrid in depth and experience, and having the second leg at home is a big deal, as Chelsea have done just enough in each round to advance. They’ll do it one more time, 3-2.

I had PSG, but losing Zlatan was a killer.

I think it’s Atletico’s year. I see them winning La Liga, and this as well. Although I’d have to favor Bayern in the Final.

Bayern’s been sleepwalking a bit lately, it gets boring when you win the Bundesliga with a month and a half left in the season. But I still see them as the team to beat.
