Daniel Sturridge failed to repeat the feat when he made his Champions League predictions ahead of Borussia Dortmund’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Sturridge had been hailed as “mystical” by fans after his incredibly accurate prediction ahead of Bayern Munich’s draw against Real Madrid.
However, the former Liverpool star was unable to repeat the feat on this occasion as he predicted that PSG would beat Dortmund thanks to the strength of the French attack.
In fact, Dortmund won 1-0 at home, with Niclas Fullkrug scoring the only goal of the match in the 36th minute.
Sturridge had posted on X before the match: “The yellow wall is special but PSG is in town. PSG will score several goals and win, their pace up front will be too high in my opinion.

However, Sturridge later admitted his prediction was wrong and wrote: “Do not doubt the yellow wall. Miles away, Studge…’
Some fans took the opportunity to mock Sturridge for his prediction.
One wrote: “You probably think you’re him because of the bad luck yesterday, HOLD.”
Another added: “This only works once.”
Additionally, another wrote: “Luck can’t always be on your side.”
Sturridge had already received plenty of praise for X after rightly predicting that Leroy Sane would find the net for Bayern against Real Madrid and that Harry Kane would score a penalty.
Before the match, Sturridge wrote: “Sane will be a big problem tonight. A goal for him and a pen for Kane.
Fans were stunned when Sane scored and Kane scored a penalty in Bayern’s 2-2 draw with Real.
After his correct prediction, Sturridge was asked to predict the outcome of a wide range of different events.
A fan asked him: “Sturridge, who’s going to win the league.”
