Necid predicts late hat-trick

CSKA Moscow’s Tomas Necid says his horoscope has predicted he will net a hat-trick away to Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Russian club CSKA held Real to a 1-1 draw thanks to a late equaliser in the first meeting between the teams on February 21.

Czech forward Necid started the first leg on the bench at the Luzhniki Stadium, and is likely to be named among the substitutes again for the return fixture at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Nevertheless, the 22-year-old believes he can be the difference between the teams in the Spanish capital.

“According to my horoscope prediction, it will be a good week for the star sign Leo,” Necid told Sport-Express.

“I will net a hat-trick in Madrid, scoring on the 86th, 88th and 92nd minutes of the match.”

Necid has netted 19 league goals in 64 appearances for CSKA since moving to the Russian capital from Slavia Prague in 2009.
