Liam Gallagher’s Bold Prediction
Gallagher’s reaction to the Champions League draw was nothing short of fiery. “Bring it on you f***ing ****s,” he exclaimed on his personal X account, previously known as Twitter, firing a warning shot at Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. While some users on social media advised him to tone it down and keep his cool, it’s clear that Gallagher’s passion for his team runs deep.
A Clash of Titans in the Champions League
This impending Champions League clash marks the fourth consecutive meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City in Europe’s elite tournament. The rivalry intensified in the 2022 semi-finals when Madrid overturned a 4-3 first-leg loss with a 3-1 triumph in Madrid. The following year, City got revenge, drawing 1-1 in the Spanish capital and launching an impressive 4-0 victory at home to advance.
In 2024, the battle reached new heights when Real Madrid eliminated City in the quarter-finals with a gripping 3-3 draw in the first leg followed by a nail-biting 1-1 tie, ultimately decided by penalties. With Gallagher in the mix, anticipation for this latest chapter promises sparks to fly on and off the pitch!
