Koke's perfect Champions League predictions are bad news for Man City against Schalke

Koke’s Champions League predictions spell bad news for Manchester City against Schalke

The Atletico Madrid star has so far perfectly picked the winner of the four Champions League last 16 ties to have finished. 

Including several upset picks, with Ajax shocking Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain stunned by Manchester United. 

He also tipped Tottenham to progress over Borussia Dortmund and Porto to get past Roma. 

Now he is half way towards a clean sweep, with his own team primed to eliminate Juventus after taking a 2-0 lead in the tie. 

While Barcelona merely have to win at the Nou Camp to advance past Lyon. 

Liverpool, Koke's pick, have a tough ask against Bayern, with the tie in the balance heading back to Munich.

While City would ordinarily be expected to stroll past Schalke with the second leg at home and a 3-2 lead in the bag. 

But PSG and Real Madrid have shown this season that winning away in the first leg does not guarantee progress. And with Koke's apparent clairvoyant powers, City fans might be more nervous than usual.
