Recently retired footballer Toni Kroos has shared his predictions for the UEFA Champions League semifinalists in the latest episode of his brother's podcast, 'Einfach mal Luppen'. Kroos, who closely follows football post-retirement, named Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool as his top picks for reaching the semifinals. Notably, he excluded last season's competitors Inter Milan and his former team, Bayern Munich, from his list, suggesting a shift in the competitive dynamics of European football.
