Copa Del Rey Final – Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Predictions
For the fifth time in history, a Madrid derby will be in the Copa Del Rey Final. It’s hard to believe that Atletico Madrid have the edge in those encounters, winning three out of four finals against Real Madrid, including the last one in 1992. Real Madrid come to the final with the confidence of 14 years of success in the Derbi madrileño, and the hunger to finish the season with at least one minor title to brag about.

Europa League Final – Benfica vs Chelsea Predictions
All the talk between Chelsea player about who will be the one, Frank Lampard or John Terry, to lift the trophy should they beat Benfica in the Europa League final usually brings with it big loads of bad luck, but seeing how the Portuguese seemed like a broken team after their shattering 91st minute loss against Porto, maybe even bad luck won’t stop Chelsea from adding another European trophy to their cabinet at Stamford Bridge.

Champions League – Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
With the chances of turning the tide and somehow making an unbelievable comeback in the second leg quite slim, Real Madrid head into their encounter with Borussia Dortmund hoping that like another Spanish team from almost a decade ago, a 4-1 thrashing in the first leg isn’t the end of the world.

Premier League – Arsenal vs Manchester United Predictions
Under different circumstances, this would have made an excellent ‘match of the season’, but the truth is Arsenal are only fighting to win a Champions League ticket, while Manchester United have already been crowned champions, and besides a Premier League points record that might not matter to them too much, there’s nothing left to play for.
