The Draw
Names have been drawn from a hat, and the U'sual Champions League semi-final matches are as follows:
unitedwhites v thrillseeker
oxfcolu v noah4x4
The Matches
The matches to predict, and all are scheduled to kick-off at 8pm, are as follows:
09/05/2023: Real Madrid v Manchester City
10/05/2023: AC Milan v Inter Milan
16/05/2023: Inter Milan v AC Milan
17/05/2023: Manchester City v Real Madrid
The Rules
Keeping with the format for last year, in addition to score predictions, please predict two goal-scorers as well, these can of course be two from the same side. Three points for a spot-on score prediction, one point for the correct outcome, and one point for each goal scored (including own goals) by either of your nominated goal-scorers.
If competitors can't be separated by number of spot-ons, for a tie-break please also predict the minute of the first substitution in the last listed match, Manchester City v Real Madrid. Your tie-break prediction must be made before that match kicks off.
As always, half-time subs are 46th minute, and injury-time substitutions will be either 45 or 90 minutes. If there are no substitutions at all, closest to zero will win.
None of your predictions (score, goal-scorers or tie-break) can match your opponent's.
Score, goal-scorer and substitute tie-break predictions will be for the end of normal time, extra-time and/or penalties will not count.
Good luck everyone!

...and so the UCL semi-finals have finished as follows:
Semi-final 1
Goal-scorers were the clincher here, with unitedwhites going through to the final courtesy of two outcomes out of four plus De Bruyne's equaliser for Man City in the first leg to finish on three points. Commiserations to thrillseeker who chased hard with two outcomes of his own, but not enough to overtake with two points.
Semi-final 2
This was a more clear-cut victory, with noah4x4 romping home with three outcomes and two goal-scorers to qualify for the final with five points. Although somewhat unlikely, oxfcolu could have nicked it with an og from either Foden or Mahrez in the last ten minutes or so when it was still 3-0 to Man City, but let's face it, that was never going to happen.
Congratulations to unitedwhites and noah4x4 who compete for the final, and commiserations to thrillseeker and oxfcolu who play for the 3rd place award.
I will start a new thread in due course for the final predictions for all.
Good luck everyone, and Up the U's! | |
