Mesut Ozil, a former Arsenal midfielder, has shared his Premier League and Champions League predictions following Liverpool’s decision.
Mesut Ozil, a former Arsenal midfielder, has shared his season predictions, including who he believes will win the Premier League and Champions League.
Liverpool is still in a title race with Manchester City, and they are only one point behind their rivals as the international break begins this week. A victory over Watford in the early kick-off on Saturday, April 2, will put the Reds ahead of City before they face Burnley later that day.
In the Champions League, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are preparing for a quarter-final meeting with Benfica next month, while Manchester City will face Atletico Madrid. However, just a week after their Premier League meeting at the Etihad, the two sides will meet in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Despite Liverpool’s closing in, Ozil believes Pep Guardiola’s side will win the league title for the second time in a row in May.
In a social media post, the 33-year-old, who currently plays for Turkish club Fenerbahce, shared his predictions and predicted that Liverpool would lose to their rivals.
He believes the Reds will go all the way in Europe and win their seventh Champions League title at the Stade de France. Liverpool will face either Bayern Munich or Villarreal in the next round if they beat Benfica.
Ozil believes Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold could win even more silverware this year, as he predicts England will win the World Cup for the first time since 1966 when the tournament kicks off in Qatar.
The former Arsenal man is a World Cup winner, having led Germany to victory in the 2014 tournament in Brazil. They defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time, thanks to a dramatic goal from Mario Gotze.
