Former Liverpool star, Daniel Sturridge, has left fans in awe after making three correct predictions for Bayern Munich's Champions League cracker against Real Madrid.

The two European heavyweights faced off in the first leg of their semi-final fixture on Tuesday night, April 30, at the Allianz Arena.

The Tuesday encounter ended in a 2-2 thrilling draw, with Toni Kroos setting up Vinicius Junior to score Real's opener.

Leroy Sane cancelled out the Brazilian's goal with a beautiful finish before Harry Kane made it 2-1 for the home side from the spot.

However, SPORTbible reports that Vini levelled matters for Los Blancos deep in the second half, with the forward stepping up to convert a penalty.

Fans react to Sturridge's accurate predictions

Sturridge's accurate predictions for the match became a big talking point on social media, with many fans stunned at how the former footballer could get his projections so correct.

In one of the tweets he posted, the former English forward predicted that Sane would cause problems for Real's defence, adding that Kane would also get on the scoresheet from the penalty spot.

"Sane will be a big problem tonight. Goal for him and a pen for Kane," he tweeted.

In another tweet, the former England international predicted the tie would end in a 2-2 draw.

"I’m leaning 2-2. Could be 3-2 Bayern if their bench go off. Goals galore 😎," he noted.

Sturridge's prediction generated a buzz on social media, with @Ode_Afc joking:

"Am I getting a girlfriend this year mate?"

@Football__Tweet added:

"What's the lottery numbers bro?"

@JosephAdeiye observed:

"What makes this so crazy is how the post was published a minute before kickoff. Pre-science."

@Utdcentral22 concluded:

"Bro got it all right."
